I was trained as a philosopher of language. Now I do administration and event coordination for a university-wide ethics center. I always volunteered for all of the administrative tasks as a graduate student, and this transition out of a typical academic career path was 100 percent by choice - a choice that I have never regretted in the decade+ since finishing my PhD. I am passionate about making sure that everything is organized.

My "extracurricular" causes and interests presently include bird conservation, green infrastructure, pedestrianization / active transportation, and noise/light pollution mitigation.
