Southern US born, New England educated, Pacific Northwest transplant. I love my traveling shoes and exploring new places.

As a History major at Bowdoin College I became fascinated with early nineteenth century efforts by women in a variety of antislavery movements, including the American Colonization Society. Through my research I became increasingly interested in African history, particularly the links between the US and Liberia.

My wanderlust often leads me to natural places, inspiring my interest in natural resource management. I am curious about how different people, cultures, and companies view natural resource management, whether it includes preservation, conservation, or immediate and un-renewed use.

As a musician and Mississippi native, I am indebted to Alan Lomax and the others in the WPA project who recorded musical styles of the early twentieth century in my home state. The preservation of music and perspective plays an indelible role in how we understand who we were yesterday and who we might become tomorrow. The Wikipedia project is one I respect immensely because of it's democratic roots, but also because it is specifically designed to keep information and perspective up-to-date in a world that changes more and more rapidly every day.
