I'm from small town rural Florida, went to University of South Florida in Tampa where I got my BA in English Literature and then the University of Florida in Gainesville where I did an MA in International Relations. I've lived and worked in Colombia and Canada where I did international accompaniment; Costa Rica and Chile where I did an internship with Habitat for Humanity and now, finally, Washington DC where I work for a farmworker advocacy group. I admit I've had an incredibly blessed and lucky life and I have deserved none of it. Such is the human experience: Grace happens.

I would come up with a more equitable and compassionate way of distributing the world's resources. We humans are a pretty smart bunch when we want to be; we can think of something better than capitalism!

people who have the compassion to recognize that the world is often a very shitty place for most of the human population but also have vision to see that it doesn't have to be.

"Never suppress a generous impluse"

outside of the US, only to countries that begin with the letter 'C' --Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica and Chile.

human rights, international relations, immigrants' rights, non-violence, social and economic justice and knitting!
