I chose this photo because it was the bag I mistakenly grabbed, from my car, after an exhausting day of classes.

Primarily with the use of my phone, I've dedicated lengthy hours writing 20+ page papers, and maintaining an honors designation.

My current research initiativ, focusin on AI Compliance, has provided nuanced spatial inquiry into the pre planning consideration of spatial and environmental harms from AI extraction.

In my free time I published, authored, & narrated a book from my phone, while studying for the LSAT & GRE.
