Welcome

I grew up an Air Force brat and attended a high school for the arts before turning to the study of international politics as an undergraduate student in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. After graduating, I interned with a women and development organization in India (my first time outside the continental United States). Upon returning I realized that I wanted to learn a great deal more about politics, so I set out to figure out a way to do that. Thankfully, the Department of Politics at Princeton University accepted me for matriculation. I now teach political theory as an assistant professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. I live and ride my bicycle in Duluth, and am contemplating seeking counseling for bibliophilia.
