I have a lot of Leslie Knope tendencies. Studied Political Science | Russian Studies | Environmental Studies | Sustainable Food Policy. I'm a dog mom to the terror duo of Porkchop Reptar and Arya Tonks. Forever an intentional wanderer and admirer of black coffee.

I like inappropriately fake eyelashes and trivia themes of the Arrested Development variety.
