CURRENT MISSION

To experience, experiment, explore, and invent.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Biology undergrad at the University of Chicago, second year. I love music, art, probing conversations, and partying. I currently live in a dorm, so I can't do much by way of hosting, but I'd love to show people around, especially in the Hyde Park area.

If I could be any animal, I would probably choose the majestic, friendly Macaroni Penguin.

I speak fluent German and English, I play bass guitar, my favorite books are Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, and my favorite foods are Buffalo wings, bleu cheese, and hummus.

I love cooking, and if you'd care to show me some cool dish you know how to make that I don't, I'll be eternally grateful.

PHILOSOPHY

The unexamined life is not worth living.
