10 years experience in Communications across 3 continents.
I was raised in Canada, Japan, Myanmar & Thailand. These communities allowed me to witness the root causes & effects of poverty & exploitation. My mission in life is to use my freedom to promote the rights of others & magnify the voices of those marginalized by society. |
