Your childhood dream; your adult dream?
As long as I can remember, I have felt a super connection with animals. I remember crawling on the ground to save ants and mosquitoes and could imagine myself to be nothing but a protector and healer of animals. Now as an adult with my child self still poking out, I have extended the sensitivity I felt with animals to people. I LOVE PEOPLE. I love their resilience, their beauty, their struggle, their stories, their love. My dream, hmmmmmmm, I’m dreaming of a world with smiles and laughter and embraces and understanding across all of the artificial and created borders and systems and boundaries that separate us. Realizing the illusion of our difference and believing in our sameness, of our source and falling in love with each other over and over and over again.

I like things that move things through my digestive track like papaya and coffee. Mac and cheese still holds a firms place in my heart.
Have you ever left the country?
My other homes have been in Peru, Belize and Costa Rica.
What is your educational background?
I am a student of life. I studied International Development Studies at UC Berkeley and graduate to a new self everyday.
Tell an extremely memorable moment.
Right now I am sitting on a tropical beach in the state of Oaxaca listening to the song of the pueblo strumming on guitar and a dancer keeping the beat rhythmically with his dance. The sun just set and the sky is still shining with hints of brilliant orange and purple at the horizon. Waves are lulling behind the music, and the birds and insects are singing their finals calls before nightfall. I am surrounded by people I love. Whaaaaaaat? Think this moment is pretty memorable like every other in this life if we learn to open our senses and listen in a new way…..
Tell us a joke.

“De nalgas.” Ooooooooooooooo. Thank you children of Mexico for widening my joke repertoire.
