"The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving."
I live in Maryland and work in Washington DC. I love politics, technology, food, travelling, film and sports (especially the Mets and the Giants). I believe in the power of both individuals AND community. I am inspired by the idea that humanity can reshape the world to be better than it's been. I'm grounded by my family and my best friend Kristen, who also happens to be the love of my life. But, if I was to describe myself in a single sentence, it would be that I'm a twenty-something looking to change the world in whatever way I can.
