Spoke five languages by the age of five. Overcame ten years of bullying in the USA (there were tremendous amounts of nativism, racism, and jealousy). Graduated from university in 2012. Currently working on getting my business off the ground. Interested in global-oriented people who believe in the power of dreams. Extremely focused on helping refugees and immigrants. I'm overwhelmingly inspired by the strength of the human spirit and how resilient people can become. I want to propel humanity into the next century and I want others to be aware of the fact that my experiences served as a platform for better things to come (and to be aware that they can do the same!).
