About me

Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Research, Project Manager
Location Chicago, IL, United States
Introduction A research coordinator by day, a Northwestern graduate student by night. And a freelance newsletter editor by weekend. Oh, and sometimes I play foosball.
Interests I like to write, but don't do it enough. I want to do something important in public health, but don't quite know how. I try to be nice, but instead make horrible comments in my head at inappropriate times. I wish I were better at darts.
Favorite Movies Royal Tenenbaums, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Constant Gardener, Ordinary People, Pan's Labrynth, Lost in Translation, No Country for Old Men, and - I'll admit it. What About Bob? is one of my favorite movies. Ever.
Favorite Music I am so copying this from Facebook (that might tell you something about me): Pavement, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Silversun Pickups, Say Hi to Your Mom, The Streets, Belle and Sebastian, Elliot Smith, Spoon, Get Up Kids, Badly Drawn Boy, Beck, Modest Mouse, Female Cheesecake, Magnetic Fields, Bloc Party, The Bens (Kweller and Folds), British Sea Power, OK Go, Weezer, Caesars, The Shins, Shout Out Louds, Cake, Kimya Dawson, Interpol. And Many More.
Favorite Books Time Traveler's Wife, What is the What, Suite Francaise, Under the Banner of Heaven, The Kite Runner, Poisonwood Bible, And the Band Played On, Geek Love, Curious Tale of the Dog in the Night-Time, Interpreter of Maladies, Nine Stories, The Life of Pi, I could go on forever ...As part of our "Great Pop Culture Compromise" I'm reading Erich's picks too. Lately, we've been reading the James Bond books. If you can get past the blatent misogyny and terrifying undercurrents of ethnocentrism, they're actually pretty entertaining.
