LIFE EXPERIENCE
After two dissatisfying years as a Financial Analyst for Paine Webber Inc, I chose to further my experiences in the developing world, and immersed myself in the diverse cultures throughout Asia, the Sub-continent, and Latin America. These experiences continue to impact me, and serve as foundation for my work as an educator and artist.
