RESUME
Work & Professional Experience
I am an artist, writer, and teacher with an affinity for the academia realm of philosophy. I am always seeking opportunities in the art world, journalism world, and educational world. I am a person of a multitude of curiosities, always searching for a stimulating and creative adventure.
I have about a hundred cats living in me and all of them are curious.
--Kathy Acker
