I’ve completed a B.A. in History, which involves a great deal of independent research, as well as academic and public-facing writing. I also write academically in both history and CS.
I’m currently a contributing editor at Reboot, a magazine about critical techno-optimism. I’ve also been published and credited on pieces and papers in The Public’s Radio, The College Hill Independent, The Providence Journal, The Fall River Herald News, and Radiology.
