About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting over my musical crush on Kate Nash.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently attending graduate school for an MFA in Creative Writing. I work part-time as a freelance writer, mostly writing Web content. In my free time I play guitar, read, write, and bowl.

I do DIY zine production out of my apartment, I make lo-fi music, and I occasionally paint when the creative mood strikes. Some weeks are boring and relaxed, but most often there are a lot of "artsy" projects occuring in my apartment.

But there's also plenty of room for more typical versions of "fun" during your CS stay. I'm always down with just getting a drink or playing video games.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace, love, and hugs.

Interests

Art, music, writing, comic books, poetry readings, hiking, biking, and busking.
