I am an aspiring writer living in the Philadelphia area. Having grown up in five different countries of varying levels of prosperity and stability have given me a fervent passion for social justice and human development. I studied History and Political Science at Bennington College to give myself a better understanding of how societies and states organize themselves, and what motivates and guides the behavior of the people that live in them. As a graduate, I run a blog of my personal writing and am actively searching for networking and employment opportunities in the non-profit, development, or activism sectors, preferably in a field where my talents as a writer can truly mature and shine.
