I'm a grad student and Chicago area native stuck in a small town and looking to meet new and interesting people! I spend a lot of time on self care (fitness, meditation, nutrition), but I still enjoy a good burger and a beer! I currently dog sit for most of my neighbors, though I don't yet have one of my own. And I enjoy talking about intersectional feminism, identity politics, and 17th century literature :)
