Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I've been involved with Splash since 2007, and I'm excited to participate one last time.

I have ADHD, and I have far too many interests — a few of my passions include photography, linguistics, plastic guitar repair (for Guitar Hero etc), binaural field recording, and teaching people how to use technology.

If you have any questions about anything in my course, or if you aren't able to attend but would like to get a copy of the slides, or have any questions about any of my interests, or just want to talk, feel free to contact me! My email is my first name @brown.edu.

P.S.: Even if it doesn't feel like it, please know that _you matter_, and you deserve a loving environment. If you are struggling or have people in your life who make you feel bad about yourself, things really can and will get better.
