CURRENT MISSION

Read books that matter, write words that matter, convince others they matter

ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty-something working on finding my voice and purpose in our small world.

Less vaguely, I'm studying Renaissance/Early Modern lit with the hopes of becoming a professor. I'm a firm believer in the power of following the heart, and I am continuously practicing radiating- whether it is Christ's love, understanding, passion, thought, curiosity, or concern

PHILOSOPHY

To show as much love and passion as possible

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years ago, I took tango lessons in Buenos Aires. I can't say that I'm a lovely tango dancer, but I can say that learning tango in its birthplace was a beautiful experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have the most experience in teaching English and writing, but I also have a Political Science degree and an interest in women's and gender studies. I greatly value knowledge and learning in general.
