    About

    Who am I? I am a gen-y enthusiast working in the ‘let’s change the world’ sector. I see my generally perceived weaknesses of youth and inexperience as my greatest assets. I dig new: new projects, new organizations, new culture. I am not an expert and I am not afraid to say so – who can be in the constantly evolving landscape of youth. I am an idea person so if you are looking for one then hit me up online somewhere (here if you want).
