I'm from the U.S., but I currently live in Turkey: I'm teaching English for a year at Uşak University through a Fulbright grant. Next year I plan to move to New York City to pursue music journalism. Music and politics are my main interests, but I'm interested in everything! I love traveling, so I'll be exploring Europe over our university's long winter break.
