While joyously loving being alive (and sharing this joy), I pursue and cultivate honesty, courage, kindness, beauty, truth, and wonder. I pay attention and take notes while engaging my experience with a sense of sincerity and ecstatic wonderment.

I like to be as immersed in my experience, as it is lived, as possible, and to moreover share the state of 'being there' with others who tap into it with equal vulnerability, authenticity, and passion. Essentially, I have devoted my life to acquiring a high level of mindfulness and awareness while connecting and collaborating with the world around me.

As a self-starter with a proven track record of autodidactic propensities across a broad range of skill sets, I thrive in environments that pull upon my creative problem-solving ingenuity and stimulate my intellectual rigor. Currently I write content, edit, and develop marketing strategy for newly launched start-ups and non-profits. I am also a dual-certified Hatha Yoga Instructor, trained in India, which a specialization in ashtanga and mindfulness based practices.

In my life I seek to integrate the structure of scientific investigation with the exploration of the first-person, embodied perception of what it is like to have an experience.
