I graduated from Reed College in Portland, OR in May 2009, where I majored in anthropology and wrote my senior thesis on cultural bias in standardized tests of literacy. I did a couple of research projects, including one on how visitors decoded my team’s intended messages in a museum exhibit of our own design and another on conceptions of technology at a computer help desk. I’ve been fencing for 12 or so years now and have assistant taught a few classes. I’ve also taught talented and gifted youth a number of summers, including classes on anthropology and historical board games. In 2008 I created and implemented a curriculum for the first anthropology class offered through The Center for Gifted. I have more t-shirts than anybody else I know personally. I think that play is important. I like interesting games of all sorts, but most especially board games. Everything I’ve mentioned thus far excites me, and these are the things about which I’ll be writing here.
