-Worked at Planned Parenthood.
-Study philosophy & public policy, with a specialization in sexuality studies (writing my BA thesis on consent & the Chicago BDSM scene).
-Brew beer.
-Am going to Burning Man this summer!

Teach, Learn, Share
Bass is the only instrument I play well enough to teach, but I know a reasonable amount about music theory in general. I also know a bit about philosophy, a bit about physical health, and a bit about sexual and reproductive health/rights.
Sometimes I tell funny stories.
