Hi! I’m Cali.

I think, I believe, I move, I am.

I think social entrepreneurship is an engine of [social, environmental & economic] change. It’s possible to do good while doing well. I fancy myself a work-in-progress entrepreneur.

I believe education is transformative–whatever shape that education comes in. I have a couple pieces of paper that reflect studies in journalism and ethnic studies. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Social Science at the University of Colorado Denver. I love it. Waaaaay too much.

I move and I dance. I’ll groove to most anything, but I’m peculiarly passionate about salsa, rhumba & cha-cha. I’ll even bust out the Macarena — just ask. I also think dance is analogous to movement through this life:

Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?

- Friedrich Nietzsche, 1888, Twilight of Idols

I am grounded in and informed by my spirituality. My family is paramount and my friends fortify me.

I love to belly-laugh.

My favorite color is orange.

My mascot is a toy alligator with a blonde wig.

I have a lop-eared schnuggle-bunny named Smokey.
