I am energetic and open-minded, perhaps due, in part, to my multicultural background and having grown up in a military family living in Panama, Italy, and Puerto Rico.
I'm passionate about working creatively on an international level and am always looking for new talent/opportunities to collaborate with.
Other passions of mine include video-photography, graphic design, music/deejaying , DIY activism, bicycles, traveling, local business, low power fm, organizing and social networking.
