Currently I am an AmeriCorps member working for a community mediation center in Maryland. Before I became involved in mediation I travelled to Rwanda as a part of a Human Rights Delegation. In May 2007 I graduated from college with a BA in Political Science. While in college I helped run voter regisration campaigns, and worked for two lobbying groups, the Maryland Catholic Conference (I'm not Catholic) and Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina (I'm not greedy and I want universal health care) so needless to say neither worked out over the long term. I want to love whatever it is that I do. I'm debating between Diplomacy and International Relations or Flim School.

Any suggestions about life, send me a message.

Wow, this is loaded.

I would actually promote peace and diplomacy.

Hmm, that would pretty much change everything as we know it.

I would also like to alter the entire prison system, in the US, as not to lock people up but instead teach, reabilitate, and allow the cycle of poverty, and crime to finally be broken.

There is a lot more than I can list.

Dream no small dreams,
For they have no power
to move the hearts of men.
- Goethe

Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.

Only when we are no longer afraid
do we begin to live.

Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.

Injustice anywhere
is a threat to
Justice everywhere.

All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.

The world is a dangerous place,
not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on
and do nothing.
- Albert Einstein
The death of democracy
is not likely to be
an assassination from ambush.
It will be a slow extinction
from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
- Robert M. Hutchins

When the power of love
Overcomes the love of power
the world will know peace.
- Jimi Hendrix

Be able at any moment
To sacrifice what we are
For what we could become.
