Studied psychology and conflict resolution. Really enjoy learning about global affairs, cultures and conflict.

Animal lover and dad to Churros 🐕

For fun, I like sports, going to the beach, chess, doing improv, hiking, traveling and trying interesting food. I am an amateur (amateur+ if I do say so myself) cook, and can perform 1.5 magic tricks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: 80s power ballads, 90s nostalgia, and anything with a Latin beat.

Movies: I like both documentaries and Hollywood. To give you an idea of my taste, some of my all time favorites are: Usual Suspects, Princess Bride, Inception, Big Lebowski, Inside Out and Ace Ventura. I also have a (not so) secret (anymore) interest in Bollywood.

Books: Shantaram, Catch 22, Ender's Game, Catcher in the Rye

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped my Mom change careers by building her a website and doing her online marketing

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share any and all knowledge I have about heavy topics like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or lighter ones, like how to pick the perfect watermelon
