Before joining The Post, I studied Computer Science and Creative Writing at Northwestern University where I graduated with honors. My capstone project, a forty-page narrative poetry collection called "The Escapist", was the recipient of the Mary Kinzie Prize for Poetry. I was also a four-year member of Northwestern’s triathlon team and served as captain my senior year.

In my free time, I train for marathons and ultramarathons, eat a lot, backpack the national parks, and go on a lot of long road trips that probably should be flights. I also still write some fiction.

I also work on other personal projects in my free time. Some of them are on the internet. All of these things were designed and developed by me.
