CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of the world and genuinely connect with as many people as I can.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in New York City, then went to Berkeley, CA for undergrad. I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2011, lived in Indonesia for half a year and am now getting my Masters in preschool teaching in New Orleans . I am obsessed with traveling, hearing new music, meeting new people and generally soaking up new cultures. I love to dance, craft, sing, swim, make fires, talk philosophy, pick fresh fruits and veggies, and discover relics from around the world. I have traveled and worked in Egypt, Ghana, and the West Bank and have a life goal of sailing around the entire world!
