Summary
Skills and
Abilities
Experience
The key components of my career path are education, communication,
and community. Creative as well as logical I have approached all three
from a variety of angles aimed at optimizing my impact on issues I care
about. Lately, I have focused on remote editing and writing to allow
myself the scope to continue my work with refugees.
