I like learning how other people's minds work. Linguistics is really cool. Great at foreign language pronunciation, with a horrible vocabulary.

Published author, photographer, musician, and poet.

Always working to counteract my biases.

I'm open to

open source contributions,

live streaming,

guest lecturing,

joining company boards,

making introductions,

and speaking on podcasts.
