Insatiably curious. Lover of language. Fascinated by patterns. Gets lost down research rabbit holes. A trifle geeky and rebellious. Why??? Loves animals. Citizen of the world (Lived in India, Iran, Lebanon, UK, and now USA).

Onwards and upwards towards the America we are supposed to be. Stand with Ukraine. Be Iran's Voice.

Current obsessions are a 25,000+ photo & ancestry mash up project (year 1900+ and NE Tribal India), and my home maker space & laser cutting designs.
