About Me

CURRENT MISSION

APROVECHAR

ABOUT ME

Huge lit nerd sharing a flat with 2 other English teachers. Soon I want to go to law school. Lately I've been reading Virginia Woolf and studying for the LSAT.
When I travel, I like to see what the public libraries and used bookstores are like in different places. I think it's important to have good headphones.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is interesting.

Interests

Cooking vegetarian food, books, especially poetry, improving/keeping up my Spanish, live music, hiking, riding & fixing bikes, film, cards and puzzles. Brainwork!

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything. Frank O'Hara, Philip Larkin, Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Góngora are favorites. I love Woody Allen movies and going to film festivals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My apartment in Spain has a view of an 8th century castle out the living room window. I get to see one of my favorite things in the world every day!

Teach, Learn, Share

My favorite things to talk about are Spanish and English literature, etymology, and language in general. I can teach you Spanish and I'm trying to learn Hebrew.
