I am curious, kind, goofy, and love to dance. Public health PhD student (I spend a lot of time reading and writing and doing math!), but also spend a lot of time thinking about: plants, ginger-flavored foods, social inequality, poetry, exploring, unions, hiking, cookies.

I love seeing new things and debating important issues in the world and watching thunderstorms and drinking whiskey and making tea and hunting for mushrooms, if any of those appeal to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stars above the Negev desert.
Tiered, coastal waterfalls w/ watercress-overgrown pools spilling into the ocean.
10,000 geese taking off across foggy fields on an autumn morning,
Paddling through a bioluminescent bay, through mangrove forest filled with tiny insect sounds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a mean shakshuka, teach you how to make tinctures and bitters, and do statistics. I also know many many useless facts about sea critters if you feel a need to learn about the critters of the sea.
