CURRENT MISSION

I grew up in NYC and have since lived, traveled, worked, and studied in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

I am currently a graduate student at the Monterey Institute of International Studies with a concentration on China's Energy Security.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest. Don't forget to smile. Know how to laugh at oneself.
