ABOUT ME

There are many things in this world I love to do. I am a social worker. I basically hang out with young people and talk about feelings. I am dedicated to social justice work. I want to abolish systems that do not serve the majority of people , like prisons and capitalism. I love to make art , I love to read; i love to write and play music and ride my bike and go on adventures. I prefer to be outside in almost any situation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw manatees and alligators on my last trip for my job! I also worked in Yosemite National Park and climbed Half Dome many times, which was fabulous. A whale breached right next to my canoe when I was 11 and it has been my favorite animal since.
