British Grad Student in Exile

I Can Speak

English, Spanish

I Would Describe Myself As

So, the basics: I'm a British international graduate student that's been living in the US for almost five years. I'm a planner, designer, and on-again-off-again teacher and tutor. And I'm sort-of obsessed with cities: how they run, how they're shaped, and who lives in them.

I can't list my personal interests exhaustively, because in reality I'm the kind of person that can and will latch on to just about anything, but the main preoccupation for me throughout the years has been writing. Behind me is a trail of countless short stories, discarded novels, and failed segues into pseudo-journalism. In general, I write what I read: fantasy, magical realism, classic literature (and on, and on...). If you're looking for an "in", you can reliably start there. The trouble is getting me to stop.

Also see: film, hiking, canoeing, board games, games games, exploring, (most) music, and cooking -for- people (I've always failed to muster the same enthusiasm for myself).

I would like to think that I'm a pretty caring, attentive, and warm person to be around, and this is broadly reflected in how I handle authority over other people. You can expect organization - and firm discipline if necessary - but only with a view to furthering your best interests and ensuring that you feel cared for.

Feel free to contact me if you just want to talk. I don't boss around random people, and I definitely don't bite.
