MARTIAL ARTS (JKD, Choy Lay Fut, Kyokushinkai, CAPOEIRA), DANCE, BELLY DANCING, MUSIC (all kinds-especially drums, world, indie, trance, electronic, jungle, hip hop), SNOWBOARDING, SKATEBOARDING VIDEOS, PHOTOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, RIVERS, HIKING, EXPLORING, LIFE
My work expresses with an interest in International World Health Organizations, Global Health Issues, Global Communication, minimizing the Digital Divide by providing access to education in thirld world countries. I have 10 years experience in planning HIV/AIDS and health awareness events, as well as global peer communication projects through the use of technology and arts (San Francisco, Barcelona, Greece).
PHOTOGRAPHY captures my imagination and is my passion. I am currently looking at how MUSIC heals people, keeps them healthy, and brings them together.
I write articles for several holistic and naturopathic medicine magazines, as well as scientific journals.
I continue to explore all parts in me that make me feel happy...
People who journey...
I believe that there is a reason for everything. I usually happen to meet the people who's eyes meet mine in crossing paths.
