Hi Penguins! I'm so excited to be back in the People's House this year and can't wait to meet you all. I'm an alum of the tech school down the street, where I majored in physics, and I'm now working on a PhD in Philosophy here at Harvard (yes, that does mean that, God-willing, I will someday be a Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy). I joined the Quincy community in 2024, and I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful, welcoming, deeply special place!

Here at Quincy you can often find me in the Stadium playing IMs, tending our sweet garden boxes (check 'em out on the far side of the Qube!), pondering the meaning of life in our weekly Big Questions dinners, or trying to convince others to watch the Bills game with me in the JCR. If any of these things pique your interest - or if you just spot me during my near-daily perusal of the Dhall cereal options - please don't hesitate to reach out! I'd love to talk to you.
