Hi Everyone! So contrary to what my picture may imply, I am not a toddler. I simply just think my outfit there is stupendous. I am a Master's in Public Health student here in New Orleans, studying the intersections of feminism, violence, and health. I am probably going to be applying to doctorate programs and thus be in school forever, with hopefully some time to travel in between!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I climbed off of a hostel roof in stilettos and a black mini dress once and did *not* die. I think that is a great feat.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love people and really just hope that I can provide the best company possible. I'll draw you a picture and cook you a Spanish tortilla. Or you can talk to me: I am a great listener. And I smile a lot. I've never had to quantify what I can provide to someone before...
My Interests
Running, being a master, drawing, live music, putting my feet in bodies of water, looking at interesting bugs, and I admit to reading Heidegger for fun even though Heidegger is not fun to read.
