Brief Bio:

After graduating college I decided to work as a freelance writer and am enjoying the ability to to focus my productive energies on highlighting the issues most important to me. I believe change will not come unless people understand the dynamic problems facing our globalized world. Cannabis regulatory reform is a top priority as I believe in the immeasurable benefits of finally adopting responsible drug policies, protecting our personal liberty and protecting the human rights of those living in areas controlled by drug cartels.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, dancing, hiking, and exploring of both far away destinations and new areas in my beautiful Western Washington home ground.
