About me

Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Health Counselor
Location Lowell, MA, United States
Introduction I am a trombone-playing feminist who enjoys learning about things like jazz music, health education, environmental health, communications, and gender/sexuality studies at UMass Lowell. My favorite word is "harmony". My second favorite word is "voice". As a true resident of Lowell (Jack Kerouac's hometown), I love the authors of the beat generation. My goal in life is to help educate people about their health in whatever way I can. I hope you like my blog, which can now be found at estrogenet.wordpress.com.
