About me:

"With enough courage, you can do without a reputation"

I’m currently majoring in International Studies with a regional focus in Africa and the Middle East. I hope to have a career in international humanitarian affairs. I strive to not only aid humanitarian crises, but to also bring awareness to them. Along with humanitarian work I also desire to expose the roots of conflicts through photojournalism and books on the subject. I'm a supporter of: UNHCR, UNICEF, Amnesty International, Invisible Children, Doctors Without Borders, The Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, United For Peace, Oxfam, and various others.

My biggest passion is travel. I can’t see myself ever settling down in one area, there’s too much to experience in the world for that. Areas of conflict don’t intimidate me. I’m not concerned about how I’m perceived and will lock horns wherever needed as long as my message is clearly received and not taken for granted. I work to depict the causes of conflict and whatever corruption and cruelty goes into them as well as what can be done in order to begin reversing such problems.

I’m active in photography (mainly fashion and portraiture), if you’re interested in modeling, contact me. I’m hoping to get a portfolio together by the end of this semester.

I am also an advocate for animal rights. I'm a proud member of PETA and avid supporter of The Dian Fossey International Fund, The Jane Goodall Institute, The World Wildlife Fund, amongst others. I'm a vegetarian and hope to eventually shift into being a vegan. I’m against the exploitation of animals in any form whether in zoos, aquariums, circuses or entertainment, experimentation, clothing, etc. I'm now fundraising for Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, go to Dian Fossey International to donate.

If you’re interested in getting to know me better leave me a comment or message. I’m also interested in networking.
