About Me

I'm a graduate student at Michigan State University working on my MA in philosophy. Working half-time as a TA, I'm squarely below the poverty line, but I love what I do. It's kind of disturbing, though, that merely having a BA qualifies one to teach college students. In spite of that, I plan to plan to go on to obtain my PhD, studying neurophilosophy, and be a professor. In my spare time (ha!) I enjoy playing video games, working on my computer, listening to and making music, cooking, hockey, and consuming adult beverages with friends.

My Interests

brains, ideas, music, cats, hockey, running, playing sports, living, thinking, reading, singing, playing tuba, playing trombone, jazz, good beer, wine, computers, video games, being social, being reclusive
