I am an American law student at the University of Michigan. Former teacher, aspiring environmental lawyer. Bassist in a pop-punk cover band and solo guitarist and percussionist. Amateur nature photographer and outdoor enthusiast.
I like reading poetry and political autobiographies, making to all sorts of music, hiking and canoeing, and trying different beers.
In my past life I was a cartographer. In my future life I'll own a used bookstore.
