I am a tiny American who enjoys reading Sylvia Plath, listening to good music, and eating tofu. Sometimes I get really excited and my voice gets extra high and I jump around. I also tell really lame jokes that make me giggle: What is it called when Batman skips church? Christian Bale.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my current favorite movies are Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Lady Bird, and Call Me By Your Name.
My favorite book of the moment is The Bell Jar. I'm a big Margaret Atwood fan.
Right now I've been listening to a lot of Sufjan Stevens, The Zombies, Father John Misty, The Grass Roots, Johnny Cash, and lots of other cool grooves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't think of a particular thing that I have done at the moment, but one thing I do enjoy doing is saving stray dogs. Whenever I see a stray dog on the side of the road, I have to save it and find its owner. It makes me feel really happy even if it's just a small, mundane task. However, if you are not a dog fan, I will refrain from saving dogs and bringing them to your home!

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach teen dating violence prevention so I go around to schools to teach youth about safe dating, healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, and consent.
