| Introduction | Originally from New York, grad school in Indiana, first job in Texas, and finally settling down in Massachusetts. Teaching is my top priority, but I still need to be a writer and researcher. I'm going to use this blog to rekindle my love for writing by combining it with my love for teaching. I also did a TEDx talk in 2014 that still pisses off SDE men. |
| Interests | Environmental history, wilderness, preservation, conservation, global warming, recycling, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers, anything Adirondacks. Plus, snuggling my perfect family, indoctrinating college students, squeezing soft furry animals, warm laundry, omelets, driving stick, having people show me new music, cooking, especially my mom's recipes, trivia games, any game actually, road trips, maps, geography, boats on lakes in the summer, laying in the sun, playing with my adorable dumb orange cats, pretty earrings, delicious subs, foldable pizza, fresh coffee, and good friends. |
| Favorite movies | Angus, How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story(s), Father Goose, Legally Blonde, Bring it On, Mean Girls, Sleepers, Seven, Center Stage, Napolean Dynamite, Whale Rider, Corrina Corrina, Princess Bride, Field of Dreams, LotR, Shawshank, Goonies, MIB, |
| Favorite music | Passion Pit, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Clap your hands say yeah, Phoenix, The Shins, Florence and the Machine, Beyonce, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Lauren Hill, and many more eclectic artists. Most of the time, though, I listen to podcasts. I *love* Last Podcast on the Left, the Dollop, Let's Go To Court, True Crime Obsessed, Maintenance Phase, Pearlmania, etc. |

I could definitely do an alligator, dog, rabbit, and maybe dinosaur.
