ABOUT ME

I grew up in rural New York state and moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 2001 to attend the University of Pittsburgh. I studied biology and anthropology, played my trumpet, became a mostly vegetarian, explored the city, studied abroad, etc. I traveled after graduating as well but returned to Pittsburgh. I've worked a number of different jobs since returning and currently am working for a non-profit program serving the elderly. I am also finishing up my master's in Public Health.

PHILOSOPHY

Striving for simplicity
