CURRENT MISSION

to engage in creative projects and social justice work

ABOUT ME

I love to read, right now I am trying to learn Portuguese and books about gardening. For my job I design all-natural playgrounds (i.e. no equipment) for children. I research best practices in early childcare at the University of Cincinnati and try to make that stuff fit with my interests in architecture and urbanism. I like to think I have decent interpersonal skills. I adore cats. I am liberal politically, religiously, and socially. I love being a Court Appointed Special Advocate, a volunteer position where I advocate in court for the best interests of a child in foster care.

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on interests, not positions
