About
I'm a graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in Anthropology. I like the flexibility my degree gives me, as I believe a successful Anthropologist should be able to multitask as a linguist, historian, artist, biographer, ethnographer, botanist, biologist, mathematician, psychologist, and adventurer. I am a native speaker of English and take on writing and editing work in English. I can speak, read, and write French at an intermediate level and this year I plan to start studying Korean! I am a part of the bleeding disorders community and do advocacy work for the Central Ohio chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation.
