About Me

Well I do not know truly where to start this.
I guess the beginning of my journey to becoming an activist was in February of last year, with my Professor, and Advisor, Dr. Kristina Wolff was denied tenure at the University of Maine at Farmington.  This women changed my life, and I wanted to do anything that I could to help her, so several students banded together and began a month long journey of working to get the tenure decision reversed.

Although I have been active on issues in the past, this was the first thing that I have been extremely passionate about.

This summer I also worked on a research project with Kristina, about Veterans for Peace, and the female member's history with the organization.  The research culminated with me attending the 2010 convention in Portland Maine, and interviewing and talking to these amazing women, and hearing their stories. I honestly felt as though I was on the verge of tears the entire convention.
I met Ann Wright, who is an amazing women, and if you're reading this, than you probably know who she is, and what she has done.  I also met Ethan McCord, who again, you probably know of.
I was also able to spend time with the amazing men and women of Chapter 001 of Veterans for Peace.  I sincerely feel as though I have inherited an extended family full of crazy Aunts and Uncles. But I also have never felt more at home and welcomed than with this group of people.

I am also involved in an activist group at the University of Maine at Farmington when I go to school.  It is called Peace Activists in Training (P.A.in.T) I know you are probably astounded with the witty acronym.  It is a wonderful feeling being the Vice President of this group, because I finally feel like I have found a club that I truly want to belong to on campus.

I hope that I remember to update this frequently about what I am doing in regards to Peace Activism.
If I don't feel free to harass me.
