About

Pronouns: they, them, their, themselves.

Bachelor of Music (Performance), Indiana University

Master of Computer Science, University of Wisconsin, Madison

ABD in Applied Math

I came by my Spanish as a young adult, working in Mexico.

I enjoy helping people and giving back what I can on the internet, having been helped many times by kind strangers.
