I was born in New Haven, then moved to Austin,TX, when I was one. I lived in Stuttgart, Germany ages 6 to 8, and in Toulouse, France ages 10 to 12. Otherwise I am an Austin TX gal! I graduated in 2005 from University of TX at Austin, with degrees in Russian Studies ( I spent a year in Moscow studying at the Moscow Linguistics University) and International Relations, and Plan II Honors. I then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah with my little sister where we were climbing bums for a year and traveled all over Europe rock climbing and competing in the Rockclimbing World Cup competitions...once my sister had to go to college I went to switzerland where I interned at the UN and worked for the Human Rights Commission under IED. I now live in Brooklyn, NY. I moved here a two years ago. I am trying to fufill my dreams here of being a boxer, painter and having an art gallery....as well as being involved in human rights non-for-profits. I have also been a professional bellydancer now for going on 8 years.
To update..I won the NY Golden Gloves in 2007 and now will be training for the 2008 Gloves after New Years (and the festivities =D) and am applying to Business school to get my MBA and be my own boss I hope...and am in a bellydancing troupe with Sharazhad of NYC. We perform monthly so please come all!!!!
