about me

Currently striving to capture what Richard Hell called the experience of being "tormentedly young."

I have a blue Budgie parakeet named Alice who is chaos incarnate and a rainbow Bourke who has one foot and separation anxiety.

Tchaikovsky, Green Day, and Hozier have composed most of the soundtrack to my twenties.

I went All-American in my second year of Mock Trial at Wheaton College. Arguing with me has been described as "exhausting" and akin to running a marathon.

I own several replica historical weapons, including swords, battle axes, and daggers; whether I know how to actually use them is between me, God, and anyone who wants to break in.

I'm not sure if this comes up in a standard background check, but I'd rather not talk about what happened in Amsterdam.

I think languages are amazing and can properly offend fluent speakers of French, Slovenian, Old Norse, and Latin.

I'm weirdly good at Tetris. Also been getting into headbands lately.
