"All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it" - Antoine Saint Exupéry "The Little Prince" 

I think this quote speaks to me so deeply, not because of immaturity, but because children see things as pure and authentic more so than adults and this is something I try to remember. I am an avid reader, gardener, cookie-maker, and maker of things. Family and friends are integral and very important to me, as well as making memories with my loved ones. I enjoy traveling, cooking, watching films, learning and exploring new things. 

I am a big believer in treating others with kindness and compassion. I am very much guided by a social justice and human rights lens to how I see the world and this has driven my personal and professional endeavors.
