Personal life
I live in Ann Arbor, MI, enjoying the wonderful Midwest community (the people here really are wonderful). I grew up in North Idaho, and lived in Tacoma, WA during undergraduate with a study abroad in Granada, Spain my sophomore year.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking (and eating), playing soccer, climbing, and petting dogs. Special shout out to my partner’s dog Turtle (:
