I'm a thinker and a doer. I love people and I love helping people be their best selves. I'm particularly invested in helping people who seem not to "belong", who are stitching together their identity and their interests in ways that lead to their own freedom -- and often the freedom of those around them.
You can catch me thinking about anything from the recent black hole photo (miss me with the "fuzzy" thing), how black holes can also be such efficient particle accelerators, creating an online community by/for women of color in STEM, what shoes I'm going to buy next, which (US) National Park Service stamp is closest to my next speaking gig, and/or which direction I'm going to point my twists (always counterclockwise).
I've learned a lot so far and have a lot more to learn, so let's be bout that life! :)
