CURRENT MISSION

Keeping any and all drama at an absolute minimum.

ABOUT ME

I am presently a graduate student in anthropology, studying the legacy of post-colonialism and slavery. I am a language geek, history nerd . . . if it's dorky, I'm all over it. I am into gardening, good conversation, and the occasionally dreadfully awesome horror movie.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fully and tread lightly. I fully believe that the human race has a fundamental drive for collective accountability.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once talked my way past a soldier in Cote d'Ivoire who clearly wanted a bribe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Uber-academic here; can toss around theory with the best of them. Background in ESL work, proofreading, breaking down complex concepts.

I'm also good at building fires, cooking solid meals with minimal ingredients, and last-minute party planning.
