Describe what you do in five words or less.

What quality in others do you most admire?
Curiosity. The desire to learn new ideas and expand your scope of thinking has always been a big priority for me.
What are you secretly good at?
Mario Kart 8. Any cup, any track, Wario and I can get the gold medal.
What’s the best piece of advice you have received?
You were given two ears and one mouth for a reason. Listen more than you speak.

Marcus Rashford. He’s an incredible soccer player and leader for one of the world’s best teams (Manchester United) all while tackling policy and adolescent hunger in Manchester and parts of England.

Back in August, I packed my bags and became a digital nomad! I’m on a yearlong journey exploring the states in search of major cities with great food and an amazing soccer scene!
