About Me


I graduated from IU with degrees in English, Business, and Psychology. (I was in the library a lot.) While I was there I studied business policy development and international finance in Shanghai, I was a research assistant in a social cognition laboratory, and I was the chairman of a literary magazine.

I'm a vegetarian.
In high school I was voted most likely to be in a rock band, most likely to invent something useful, and second most likely to write greeting cards.
I was also voted the third nicest person you will ever meet.
Cogency hates me. But I hated it first.
