About Me

Currently, I am in graduate school pursuing a Master's in Public Administration. I also volunteer as the Director of Development & Marketing for a nonprofit called Second Chance Bikes.

I love to learn... anything and everything. I am friendly and like to make people laugh. I also really appreciate being introduced to new music, philosophies, foods, places, and lifestyles.... Let's have a conversation about things that matter.

BIKES! I am obsessed with bikes.

"Radically conscious, consciously radical" + "aggressively fabulous" = me (as told to me by a good friend)
