Just graduated from Reed College with a major in philosophy. Currently working at an immigration law firm--enjoying waking up to the harsh realities of a 9 to 5 job. Living it up in Portland but planning my escape. Hoping to travel to the Middle East to continue learning Arabic once I save up enough!

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently have been listening to Portishead but will always have a soft spot for all classic rock. There Will Be Blood is a favorite movie, and "Where are you going, where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates is a short story but I'm going to count it as a favorite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed over an underwater volcano
