CURRENT MISSION

Learning about the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate with a strong interest in language documentation of endangered languages. I believe that every culture and lifestyle is valuable and an integral component of our universe. Bearing this in mind, I hope to live by exposing myself to multiple paths in live, and learning from them.

PHILOSOPHY

Be persistent and accomplish what you envision.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed on a farm in rural Romania for a week and ate cow-stomach soup and the strongest schnapps I've ever had for basically every meal and barely managed to communicate with my hosts who spoke very little English.

Teach, Learn, Share

I research and write about indigenous languages. I'm particularly interested in the field of pragmatics and metalinguistics.
