i love people, culture, exploration, food, music, dancing, sharing, community organizing, surfing, yoga, friends, family, nature.

i'm interested in how people live together and the forces that shape our lives, so the ethics and politics of race, gender, class and culture are important to me. i value equality, autonomy, community and the freedom to be oneself.

i'm conscientious, curious and open-minded. i enjoy observing, listening and learning. and traveling because it reveals our universal truths and the infinite ways they can be lived.
