About Me

I'm trying to figure out how to live properly, in the real world with real problems, while trying to fulfill idealistic dreams carried over from college. It's definitely a balancing act, and sometimes I just want to flip over the table and say, "screw corporate" and go do something totally random and irresponsible.

I think I'm going through the quarter life crisis, because sometimes I think I have accomplished nothing meaningful in the 24 odd years of being alive, aside from following the footsteps of this rigid education. Well, I want to experience more. I want to stop reading and absorbing knowledge, and just learn from failures and triumphs of my own making.

I love Penelope Trunk, because she is so vulnerable and talented; so real. She understands, and that's a heck a lot more than 85% of the corporate population. She is the reason why I'm joining this website. Oh and I don't always agree with her views.

I have a blog, please read it: nycmemories.wordpress.com

Interests
I like to express my creativity in a variety of channels - I like to cook and eat, I want to be a chef some day. I play my violin on any sad and rainy day. I enjoy a red wine with medium rare steak. I am fascinated by the web and will one day create a website about identities - and how to deal with them in an effective way. I love the Middle East, I think I might just live there one day. I miss my childhood. I love therapy, it's good for everyone.
Goals
  1. Run the marathon
  2. Become inspired and inventive
  3. Become a great chef
  4. Live in Brooklyn
  5. Retain Geuine Relationships with People
Favorite Quote
“I say to you, this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren’t fit to live." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Specialties
I am currently a management consultant. I have been and will always be a social justice advocate. I want to one day devote myself to nonprofit strategy work. My dream job is to become a foreign correspondent, or a journalist in war zones. Art + music keeps me alive.
