Those are the words that most accurately describe me, a 20-year-old girl with a passion for learning about the world in order to make sense of it and work to positively change it. After growing up living in various countries and working in the world of <a href="http://www.youthgive.org/"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration: none;text-underline:none">philanthropy</span></a> and social entrepreneurship, I am at the moment primarily involved in creating change and inspiring others to have a voice in crafting their own learning and life paths. My vehicle to do this is <a href="http://www.eduventurist.org/"><span style="color:windowtext; text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">The Eduventurist Project</span></a>, which I began while taking time off from college and formal schooling to explore experiential, self-designed learning. I spent this past year interviewing people of al ages and nationalities about their alternative learning journeys in order to learn of potential solutions for our educational systems. I am also currently the editor of the first San Francsico Bay Area edition of the <a href="http://www.communityloversguide.org/#1890551/San-Francisco"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">Community Lover's Guide to the Universe</span></a>, a project I learned about while traveling solo in Europe for 4 months this year. Additional fun facts about me: I have a strong interest in design and how its can be applied to solving social and environmental problems, the notion of community is something I continually aspire to explore and learn about, I love to dance, and I am passionately obsessed with tea.</font></p> <!--EndFragment--></span></font>
