I just completed my Master's degree at the UC Berkeley School of Information.  I'm focusing on continuing my Master's Capstone Project, Squash & Vine, a suite of tools built around an online social network to aid communication and information sharing in the local food community.  My most recent work outside of the academic halls was with Outhink Media on MediaMobz , a social networking and auction site for video buyers and producers.  Highlights of my former life include Oberlin College, living in Ireland and France, studying in Turkey, working with the China Internet Project, and making various kinds of ice cream.
