BIO

I am looking for an internship opportunity within the field of Technical Writing or a related discipline.

Currently, I’m a graduate student in the inaugural cohort of the MA in Engaged and Public Humanities at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.

  • In 2021, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of California, San Diego, where I received a BA in Philosophy with Honors.
    • My senior honors thesis: “Self-Reliance and the Free Spirit: Emerson, Nietzsche and Zarathustra,” traced the influence of American essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson on the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (an amended version of this was published in Intuitions, the undergraduate philosophy journal of UCSD).
    • I was awarded the Eric Paul Allison Memorial Fellowship which is “given to the graduating senior who best exemplifies the ideals of personal integrity, academic excellence, and commitment to learning.”
  • In August 2006, I joined the United States Coast Guard, serving as an Electronics Technician. I was honorably discharged in July 2016, after almost a decade of service. I was stationed at CAMPSAC Pt. Reyes, in Pt. Reyes, California; the USCGC MUNRO, a high-endurance cutter out of Kodiak, Alaska; and ESD San Diego, in San Diego, California.

I am originally from Eastern North Carolina, where most of my family still lives.
