I'm a grad student at the American Shakespeare Center working on a masters in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature for Performance. I am passionate about Shakespeare and theater in general. I also could not live without music.

I enjoy video games (a product of having 2 older brothers), cooking, alphabetizing things, being obsessive compulsive, giving advice, going to the same bar multiple times a week, crossword puzzles, playing guitar, being vulgar, philosophy, sarcasm, and taking inordinate amounts of pictures, to name a few things...

This year, writing a thesis...

My laugh, my curls, my disarming openness/honesty.
