I grew up halfway between rural and urban North Georgia. These days, I'm living in the Greater Boston area, where I study how to write code, draw trees, and ask the good questions at Brandeis University.
Books are a big part of my life, especially anything medium-esoteric and nerdy. The origins of (un)consciousness, human relationships, and everything in between. To me, the most interesting thing in the world is people. I love coffee of many kinds and various outdoor activities.
My BA is in Applied Linguistics from Georgia State University, along with an EFL certificate and some robust pedagogical training. In the 2024–2025 academic year, I worked as an RCALL fellow with Dr. YouJin Kim on a clause-level fluency study of L2 English speakers.
I worked in food service for 7 years, from 2018–2025. My last job of 3 years was at a casual fine dining restaurant, where I opened fancy bottles of wine and tried my best to make memories for other people.
