Hi, I’m Nellie!

I’m a 23 year old student about to graduate with an English literature degree with plans on going to grad school and studying astronomy.

I was born and raised in the United States but I’m ethnically Kenyan!

My friends often describe me as intellectual and introverted but despite being a little reserved at first I love meeting new people and engaging in thoughtful conversation!

I have a passion for social and environmental issues, as well as animals rights (I’m vegan! :))

IMPORTANT: I am fully vaccinated and have the booster!
