CURRENT MISSION

To find an application for applied linguistics (seems simple, but I promise you it's not)

ABOUT ME

I'm currently working on a graduate degree in Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I teach ESL courses at Ball State as my assistantship. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my girlfriend, our two cats, and my fellow linguist nerds.

I am almost incapable of speaking without linguistic jargon. It's a problem.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure if this counts as a PERSONAL philosophy if I steal a quote from someone, but:

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever."
--Mahatma Gandhi (or so I think)
