Tell Us About Your Family

Do You Have A Childhood Nickname?

“Dr. S, don’t ask Junior High was a weird time, ok?”

What is the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time?

“I like to collect tactile things like books, CDS, scrapbook paper, etc. so I can analyze their design layout and typography.”

Do you have any hobbies?

“I have a green thumb that I try to appease with my little porch garden and ever-growing collection of air plants, I enjoy playing Pokemon Go, and Gilmore Girls is my guilty pleasure.”

Tell us one random fact about you?

“A high school friend and I won our school talent show by playing air guitar to Joan Jett.  (Of course it was “I love Rock ‘n Roll.”)”
