About Me

Hi! I’m holding it together, just barely. Defended my PhD a few years ago and trying to re-learn what it feels like to be a human that goes outside. I love my cats, trying new foods and media, and connecting with new folks.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books include: Che, The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Rorschach Texts, The Yiddish Policeman's Union, and The Confederacy of Dunces

My favorite movies include: The Watchmen, Inception, Clue, The Princess Bride, Silence of the Lambs. I’ve joined a smutty book club as well, so let me know if you have any recommendations :)

I love Danny Devito and Nicholas Cage. Charismatic weirdos are my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m working through all 115 Nicholas Cage movies and am almost there!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m learning to cook! I recently made aranchini for the first time — they were far too big, but it’s hard to really mess cheese + carbs.

Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Poland, Scotland, Spain, United States
