About Me

I am just a kid trying to make it in the world. Born and raised in small town Minnesota, I currently live in Minneapolis and attend the U of M. I am majoring in History, minoring in Poli Sci, and planning on graduating in the Spring of 2007. After that I want to either do Teach for America, or enter the Masters of Education/ Initial Licsensure program at the U of M. During the next year I plan on, beginning my volunteer teaching hours at a Minneapolis public middle school, finishing up prerequisite classes to get into a grad program, staying involved at the U of M's Queer Student Cultural Center, and continuing my work at the University of Minnesota Police Department's Security Monitor Program.

My Interests
