I am driven to inspire. I am an adventure seeker with a fearless attitude and proactive spirit. I am inspired by all people, their stories and our natural ability to change. I build relationships with communities on any platform. I strive to help people learn and care about cultures, issues, and news across borders. I am a curious, go-getter with a passion for people and their stories, and am ready to celebrate the new wave of journalism.

My love for story telling started before I could write. I was the kid who asked all of the questions and often interviewed my relatives: about the stories of their lives, what they've learned and the wisdom they've gained, filling an entire notepads with their answers. Having always loved great conversation & lover of listening- I would create a detailed story based on the discoveries in my scribbled notes. As years have passed, this passion has developed and my love for exploration of life through the stories told by others, has grown with me and transformed me a human being.

I have a thirst for new knowledge and a relentless desire to see the world. I constantly immerse myself in the lived experiences of cultures different from my own in hopes of one day exploring them on a global expideition. I have attended global leadership conferences that have enhanced my love for diversity, and human acceptance. While in Prauge I had the unique opportunity to be 1 of 4 Americans to converse with diplomats as well as young world leaders about changes they wish to see in their countries. I am an inqusitive, global thinking leader who always seeks to understand and grasp the full picture. The world is my market, and I'm confident the work I produce will create progress.
