About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

It is not so much who I am, but how I have become this person and where I am aimed at going. The more I learn of the world, the more engaged I become with the fight for freedom and equality for all of humanity. I choose to walk in solidarity with all people to battle the injustices that humans are trapped within.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 8 months in Asia spending the majority of my time in Cambodia and India. This is where my compassion for humanity was built upon. Both countries I volunteered at orphanages, both taught me very valuable lessons. I have been working towards finding my path of serving humanity and was lead to graduate school studying Conflict Transformation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lies are told through both speaking and being silent. It is a constant choice which side of the game you wish to be on; truth or lies.
I want to deconstruct all the stories I have been told in my life and find out which side of the coin they stand. This has been a very interesting discovery process of unfolding the false beliefs I held of my country, by uncovering all the irreversible damage being caused. My mission is to spread truth where ever it may be barried or whatever resistance I may come across.
