About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm lost.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in New Jersey before living and working in New York City. I attended NYU Film School for my undergraduate degree. I worked at Columbia University as an Event Management A/V technician and free lance in the film industry. Been traveling the past 3 years. My travels so far have opened me up to some amazing new experiences and definitely put things into perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance.
