About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up in California, and went to a private University in Los Angeles. I studied in Oxford for a semester, and fell in love with it. I work for my alma mater now, and am in charge of a Classical high school program. I spend my free time reading, at the Getty, hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, and wishing I was in England.

PHILOSOPHY

All shall be most well, and all manner of things shall be well.
