CURRENT MISSION

To create a better world.

ABOUT ME

Can't sing, can't act, can dance a little.

I love traveling and seeing new places and especially meeting new people. I am focused on creating a world in which every person can have their voice heard and create the change they wish to see. I work for social-change organisations, am passionate about music, media and arts and believe that another world is possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. - Goethe
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. - Thoreau
