I am continually seeking an understanding of what defines us as human and those attributes that coincide with being a successful member of our community. My quest takes me down paths of academia as well as in the streets to interact with everyday people as they experience their lives. My curiosity empowers me to move forward and ask questions to help the world around me connect on levels that allow us to progress as a species. I am passionate about sharing my ideas regarding building a higher level of awareness around our interconnectedness and continuing to dispel the notion that we are all separate.
