ABOUT ME

I am a grad student in Philosophy/critical theory. I love being outside, traveling, and meeting new people (among other things, obviously). I am an academic, nerd, artist and activist. I am super quirky and fairly out of touch with pop culture. I'm introverted and quiet, but I live to enjoy good conversation with honest, sincere, pretension-less company.

PHILOSOPHY

to borrow from a few friends, "the smallest act in the most limited circumstances bears the seed of the same boundlessness, because one deed, and sometimes one word, suffices to change every constellation"(Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition). Choose the road less traveled, the road of the moral being, and it will make ALL the difference.
