I'm a graduate in mathematics currently pursuing linguistics; I am primarily interested in syntax, semantics, and language documentation, especially in regard to special registers and/or signed languages, but I enjoy just about anything language-related. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, computer programming, geocaching, bad puns, obscure board game variants, urban farming, and all kinds of food.
