Personal/Bio:
[edit]☞ I hold a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from Columbia University and currently serve as a faculty member at New York University.
☞ My academic background intersects with my passion for global exploration. By age 26, I had visited 24 countries across Asia, Europe, North America, and Central America.
Notable experiences include:

I have participated in cruise-based travel, solo backpacking, guided group tours, and informal lodging experiences ranging from hostels to short-term rentals and couchsurfing. In addition to travel content, I have contributed digital content and local focused writing for Toronto based small business websites such as Ultimate Mold Crew, Northern Touch Window Cleaning Vancouver, Anta Plumbing Toronto and fullhome to name a few.
Achievements
☞ Blogmanay Campaign (2012)
[edit]In December 2012, I was selected as one of 21 international travel bloggers to participate in the Blogmanay campaign, organized by VisitScotland, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, the Edinburgh Tourism Action Group (ETAG), and Edinburgh Festivals. The program involved experiencing Scotland’s traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations, including the Torchlight Procession and the Loony Dook, an annual costumed dip into the River Forth.

[edit]In August 2012, I participated in a Generation Y-focused media trip to Anchorage, Alaska, organized by the Hilton Garden Inn Anchorage. The itinerary included outdoor and adventure tourism activities such as glacier hiking in Sutton, Alaska, and wildlife encounters across Southcentral Alaska.
