Bio

I'm an avid reader, interested in social justice and exchanging knowledge and ideas.

I am kind, compassionate and a natural leader. Being the eldest sibling of four has allowed me to develop patience and the ability to look for compromise. Most importantly, I am perceptive of other peoples talents which enables me to find ways to relate to them very easily.
