NAME

JOB TITLE

LOCATION

• • I was a theater major and some days I am still not sure how I wound up in a tech career, but I love the challenge of it, so that is a plus. I love nothing more than curling up in my PJ’s and watching movies or TV shows with a cup of herbal tea. I am also a classically trained musician who played at Carnegie Hall back in high school, and I am currently learning to play guitar to keep my skills sharp. I also enjoy reading and writing, and on occasion I sing karaoke at one of the more reputable dive bars in town.

The highlight of that was meeting Ray Bradbury at an author event a year or two before he died, I have never met anyone who commands the attention of everyone in the room so effortlessly without saying a word.

   

   

• The importance of representation in fandom spaces(Or why Tumblr is kind of a mess but it is important to everyone who has ever wanted to see themselves represented in media.)
