CURRENT MISSION

To destroy Monsanto one bite at a time!

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate student about to begin a PhD program in Linguistics at The Ohio State University.

I've lived in the U.S. most of my life: Washington, D.C., Madison, WI, Boulder Colorado and soon Columbus, OH. I've also lived for two years in Germany.

I'm very good at entertaining myself and can figure out a way to have fun even when I know no one and have no idea what to do. I am totally content to just walk around a new place with no goal in mind! This is how I discovered some really cool stuff when I was traveling around Europe.

That being said, I also love people and anyone who wants to show me around anywhere is welcomed with open arms. So excited to FINALLY make it to the southern Hemisphere!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

SEEN:
The Blue Church in Bratislava

A car coming at me at about 40 miles per hour while I was on my bike.

DONE:
Survived - unharmed (couldn't say the same for the bike...which even in the state of mild repair was stolen the next weekend... shame)

I got a hole-in-one playing Wii disc golf last night...
