About Me
Originally from Hawai’i, USA, now based in Taiwan, I am currently pursuing a PhD in feminist philosophy. In addition to my academic work, I am a published writer and budding activist working in the field of women’s rights and gynocritical research. I have created and manage one of the only feminist-focused book clubs in Taiwan, volunteer with various non-profit organizations, and am a voracious reader. I love traveling, ancient and medieval history, critical thinking, and challenging the status quo.
