work has been a lot of fun and I've been getting some challenging projects but it's still not exactly the kind of work that I'm super passionate about. I was really missing working more directly with climate change and environmental justice issues a couple of weeks ago so I started to email some organizations asking … Continue reading I took myself on a field trip to the University of Nairobi
I've been to a medical center/urgent care in California and in Nairobi in the last 6 months. The California story last October I had a pretty ugly accident rock scrambling in my favorite place in the world: Joshua Tree National Park. In the morning of our second day on this camping trip, my friends and … Continue reading a medical center in Nairobi v California
I've been using a new work tactic: whenever someone asks if I can do something my answer is always "Yes! That's eaaaasy." And I've been volunteering myself for pretty much every new project opportunity that I'm interested in. I mean it doesn't always work out so well for my work/life balance and this ends up … Continue reading i can do that (probably)
for various reasonable and unreasonable excuses, I haven't written anything for myself since my last non-post. but... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
I haven't publicly published anything in a while. Actually, I made a chart and it really hasn't been that long, only 6 days. But considering that on average I post something every two days this is a big deal (such a drama queen i know). I think it's felt longer because there's been a lot … Continue reading something on my mind

It's about 85km and 2 hours away from our place in Nairobi. six of us went on this trip: two Brazilians, two Americans (I count twice), a Belgian, a Ghanaian, and a Chinese. We represent five languages and speak 11 languages combined. I thought … Continue reading naivasha, hell’s gate national park, and mt. longonot
I have a little green Moleskin notebook that I have carried with me everywhere I go for the last 6 years. It was gifted to me by an upperclassman when I was a freshman in college. It's half journal, half quote collections, half poetry attempts. I think it's up there among my top five most … Continue reading the two narratives
I've rewritten the intro to this one five times already... It's hard to say what I'm trying to say without sounding like an entitled lil bitch. But let me give it another shot. There's this amazing opportunity in my office that I could apply to if I really wanted to stay at the UN. And … Continue reading i’m scared of making money
I've been going through a lot of new experiences emotionally, physically, and existentially in the last few months. I love moving to new places because I thrive in chaos and reorienting myself in new situations really makes me feel like my best self. I like who I am the most when I feel like I … Continue reading just a little bit braver
I had a conversation with a very good friend from high school a while back that I think about often. I don't remember exactly how it started but we came to the conclusion that I am an external processor and she is an internal processor. I don't really know much about it except for what … Continue reading to be an external processor
