CURRENT MISSION

see Europe... and maybe prepare for Trinity

ABOUT ME

I study European history at Bryn Mawr College and the University of Oxford and work as a freelance journalist for a Philadelphia-based alt weekly.

This summer I'm doing research on a sexuality and class in 1930s London, interning for the AV Club (The Onion) in Philly, and filling out grad school apps. Before all that though, I'm bumming around Europe with Oxford friends.
