Fun Fact

- I left home alone at the age of 16 to live in Costa Rica amongst 180 students from 70 countries. - I have lived in 5 countries on 4 continents - I am a DJ and have a personal music business serving the Greater Chicago Area - All my organs are on the opposite sides (Situs Inverses Totalis)

Passion

I aim to be a sponge, collecting experiences every step of the way from a multitude of people. Eventually, I hope to use my knowledge and experience to start a school in Nepal where I can help provide the same opportunities that I have been so lucky to encounter to the rising youth of my country.
