I am a 2007 graduate of Kenyon College, where I studied English (with a focus on creative writing) and Spanish Literature. While at Kenyon, I worked as a tour guide, an elementary school tutor, a Spanish Assistant Teacher, and a volunteer at the Humane Society, among other things. This past year, I also worked as a Student Associate at The Kenyon Review. In May I was published in the KRBlog series "Books That Have Changed Our Lives." I am originally from Connecticut, but I currently live in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I will soon start an AmeriCorps position focusing on Hispanic outreach development at a local family center.
