About:

In 2013 I graduated from URI focusing on Cultural anthropology and documentary filmmaking with minors in leadership and nonviolence and peace studies. I love traveling the world and was able to travel to Nepal, Mexico, and Belize twice as an undergraduate. Right now, I’m focusing on issues that are close to my heart right here at home in Providence Rhode Island. I am an AmeriCorps member at The Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence.  I have been waiting a long time to take the Level 2 training and now I am excited to travel the world through my lens of peace and social justice and sustainability!
