CURRENT MISSION

Meet people I wouldn't otherwise, hear things I haven't heard

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at Columbia in New York City, where I major in American Studies, with specific interests in cultural and intellectual history. I grew up in a very small town in Florida, but I love cities. I am interested in history, philosophy, politics, music, and people's life stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.
