I have been practicing Zen for a number of years. I am a Zen student and practices the tradition of koan study to gain insight into life.

2011 has introduce me to a new world, the world of NGOs. I traveled to Africa with MamaHope to get to see first-hand, what it means to live in absolute poverty. The trip has inspired me to do more work in this area and as a result of that, I joined the advisory board of MamaHope. I have also been working with some other projects like The Adventure Project to learn more about the NGO world.
