I’m a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and I also love humans. I love discovering new things, meeting new people, and encountering new ideas. With my life, I want to Teach, Lead, Learn, and Love.

I care deeply for oppressed peoples, whether that be because of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, religion, or whatever else. I want to devote my life to helping those less fortunate than myself.

If you’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or otherwise a hateful and fearful person, I don’t want to stay with you.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite album usually is Tame Impala’s Live Versions, a recording of their 2014 live performance in Chicago. That album has presided over a lot of my personal growth over the past few years. Sometimes it is Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly. My favorite movie is Swiss Army Man... that has honestly also had a largely significant impact on my personal constitution.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Spain with my family for a few weeks, and I visited a medieval fort on a big hill near Toledo. We drove up the hill, and there were no tourist signs or even any other people there. We all walked around in complete silence, each of us exploring a different part of the decaying fort, and I imagined what it had been like to be a human existing in that exact space 1000 years ago, and also how quickly human societies have changed since then. Everyone met up to discuss what we had seen and felt, and then Lance and I meandering around the outer ramparts, taking in the miles and miles of pristine orange fields stretching to the horizon to the rhythm and ambience of the Undertale soundtrack, and underneath a thick, comforting blanket of red towels. I thought that I could spend a whole summer on that hill.
