Professor. Entrepreneur. Aesthete

I went the extra mile and it turned into a double marathon...

Professor

Since my early days at Trinity College I knew I had a passion for learning. As I got older I was fortunate enough to take all the lessons of my worldly experiences and convey them and the love of learning to the next generation of professors and philomaths.

Entrepreneur

I have extensive experience in business creation and management. My brainchild, Terra-Americana, provides hand crafted creative confections for businesses and consumers worldwide. Whether you're hosting an event, looking for out of tbe box gifts or simply interested in spicing up your kitchen, Terra-Americana can help

Aesthete

From Massachusetts to Xiamen, I have been fortunate enough to immerse myself in foreign cultures. The diversity of my experiences has given me a unique and cherished understanding of what it means to be human.

Kind Words/Endorsements
