CURRENT MISSION

Embrace spontaneity; Finish Graduate School; Travel more

ABOUT ME

I'm a seasoned traveler hoping to branch out into CS after a few very positive CS experinces a while back. I'm generally agreeable, love to cook, hope to work in urban planning/urban government, like good drinks and good company. I play ultimate frisbee and sometimes pub quizzes. I like board games and card games. I love to see new places through the eyes of people who know them well. I'm fairly liberal, interested in food politics and social justice.

PHILOSOPHY

I met a man in Thailand who, when faced with something negative, would say "Acknowledge it, accept it, and let it go". I try to embrace that attitude.
