I am passionate about workers’ rights and uplifting my peers.
In addition to academic endeavors I am an artist, I am keen to work in different mediums.
My art is playful, colorful, and sometimes a little odd
(See my

I also enjoy writing poetry, reading science fiction and fantasy, hiking, and hanging out with my cats.
My personal life goals are to live close to nature and with a few goats.
My personal philosophies revolve around empathy, kindness, seeking serenity and the value in non-human animals, plants, and geologies.
I value being a good listener and adaptable.
