A Bit About Me
I remember, as a child, accompanying my mom while she voted. Even then, I was captivated by politics. Now, I turn the TV on just to watch the news. I always want to know what's happening in my community, country, and globally.
I have immersed myself in politics to communicate it in an easy, fun way. My work experiences have taken me across the country and Europe. An up close look at my work can be found throughout this website.
