ABOUT ME

i'm a bit of everything. highly sociable but tremendously independent. easy going and passionate. a pragmatist as well as idealist. ironic and genuine. work hard, play hard. i'm pretty silly. very difficult to offend. i love banter and to laugh often.

graduate student at university of texas in the government department and working as a teaching assistant.

after undergrad at Michigan (ann arbor rules), i spent 8 months living in Edinburgh, working in a cafe/bar and had the time of my life. met some amazing people backpacking through europe for 6 weeks after that.

PHILOSOPHY

the world owes me nothing and we owe each other the world.
if it harm no one, do what you will.
experience everything, and smile.
