CURRENT MISSION

Living life like every week is shark week

ABOUT ME

I am grappling with my decision to stay in one place for a while and undertake the equally self indulgent and infantilizing experience that is graduate school. Hopefully the end result will be a job applying my background in social science to real world conservation dilemmas that consider both social and ecological systems equally.
I enjoy thinking about, reading, and discussing these interests but I get my share of that in school. I much prefer talking about things I have little expertise in but find fascinating like making jam, vertical gardening, how bees communicate, dendrochronology, quilting, etc.

One of my favorite things is to explore a new city on a bicycle or on foot and discover interesting cafes, bars, green space and shops.
