CURRENT MISSION

to come alive with every inch of my being!

ABOUT ME

My alma mater is Ohio University and I loved every minute of my time there. Right now I'm living in Washington DC in International Development, on a project centered on creating trust between Afghan locals and their provincial governments.

I am committed to learning as many languages, reading as many books and meeting as many different people as possible in this lifetime. I am constantly evolving as a person and absorbing new perspectives. My family and friends are my world.

I'm noticing a deterioration of personal interaction on a day to day basis, and this saddens me. the world is alive; live in it! read thoroughly, listen well, think deeply, talk personally, come alive!

PHILOSOPHY

"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life."
-Thich Nhat Hahn
