Why
What would political conversations be like if we better understood people's history and motivations? I believe the barrier between our worlds is mostly artificial. When we catch a glimpse of someone's perspective we realize how close we actually are.
I use social media to break through misperceptions and deepen real knowledge of others. I share the joy and transformation that happens when we’re curious and care about people who are different from us. It has transformed me already.
About me
I'm a content creator with a background in conflict resolution. I have worked alongside community leaders in Iraq and Central America trying to prevent violence and poverty, mentored homeless teenagers in Hollywood, coordinated advocacy programs in Washington, created courses in peacebuilding, and helped organizations use social media for change. I have an MA in International Peace Studies from Notre Dame University.
