A propos de moi

Since a young age, the world has been my classroom. In addition to having lived in Indonesia, Cameroon, Ecuador, and Spain, I most recently returned from having lived for more than a year in Morocco.

I am currently in the process of starting a fair-trade rug importing business from Morocco. I trade directly with the women artisans and reinvest a portion of all my proceeds back into local education initiatives.
