Summary


I am a determined and hardworking individual with a patient and loving demeanor. With experience in caregiving, hospitality, and customer service, I excel at working with people of all ages. I studied computer science, math, logic, and philosophy for two years, developing strong analytical and problem-solving skills. In 2023, I lived independently in India for six months, and more recently, I have been living at the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Taos, New Mexico, where I’ve been studying Eastern philosophy while taking care of the ashram. Where we serve two free meals daily and hold a service twice daily in the temple. I am a fast learner who thrives in team-based, fast-paced settings, and I am always eager to contribute and grow.
