I am a student at Michigan State University, where I intend to graduate in 2012.

The Good Life
I enjoy being outdoors, driving on the open road, culture and anthropology, traveling, language and linguistics, used books, thunderstorms, late nights, and good friends. I bake compulsively and love to run. I am also a member of MSU's Friends of Sociolinguistics and MSU's Competitive Fencing Club, where I fence épée.
