I was raised in the Midwest but didn't grow up until I cached out my 20's in NYC. I am currently writing a memoir based on my coming of age in youth institutions. I do public speaking and volunteer work with The Precious Dreams Foundation providing comfort items and positive outlets for children in transition. Travel is my religion. I've backpacked alone to over 50 countries and can talk shit in various dialects of Spanish. Check out my website
