Hello there! Lovely to meet you.
I'm a lover of rare books, tattered photographs, and most things arcane. At the moment, I am a MLIS candidate at the University of Washington focusing on Archives and Special Collections. Post-graduation I hope to work with libraries and museums whose collections center on medieval manuscripts, incunabula, and/or historic photographs.
Beyond that, I enjoy the simple things in life: perfecting my croquembouche, attempting figure skating, and reteaching myself Latin. I happily reside in San Francisco with my girlfriend, our three cats, and and ungodly number of houseplants.
