Plans
This Fall, I plan to attend Temple University to study Anthropology and History. I hope to continue to work with people in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia that are helping to form new, more empathetic systems of justice, governance, and mutual aid. Professionally, I hope to teach at the collegiate level, although the path forward will probably twist and turn like a dozen more times.
