About Me:

An English/Philosophy major who likes variety and eclecticism. Born in Detroit, I moved from RI to NH a bit over a year ago, and have been marveling at wildflowers in the White Mountains ever since.

Favorite quote = "It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life , that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself" (R.W. Emerson). I also appreciate: "Be yourself: everyone else is taken" (Oscar Wilde).
