Fun fact:

I started getting tattoos on my 18th birthday. I view them as a physical representation of my story;  moments in time, memories I want to hang onto, artifacts of my life, and pieces from artists I admire. It's my favorite thing to collect.

Favorite story I’ve heard and why:

I am a podcast devotee, and an episode of Radio Lab from 2014 called "60 words" still haunts me. It’s a profound interrogation of the power of language, specifically the 60 words that make up one sentence in the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) law — and how its interpretation can change the course of the world.
