Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm from California. I have spent two summers in San Francisco working with nonprofits on green political campaigns. I am concerned with larger social and ecological problems in the world and I want to bring awareness to these issues and highlight our interdependence with each other and the world we live on. Although I don’t know what is necessarily good to do or to be I know what is harmful. I wish to put an end to these harmful and derisive behaviors so that we can begin the journey towards what is good, just and equitable.
