Hobby Stuff
'''

I am not all work and no play! I am also very into cinema, literature, writing, television, travel, cooking, and science fiction. At my university, I am VP of the debate team. Also, I am a self-confessed (and oft-accused) coffee addict. My love of media has a profound influence on my research about its inaccuracies/stereotypes/potential uses.

Huge fan of: A Song of Ice and Fire, Orange is the New Black, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Breaking Bad, J.D Robb's "In Death" series, and Harry Potter.
