Years at UWG: Two years and some change.

My job title: Web Content Manager.

Before UWG, I: Was edging closer to a soulless existence working in corporate America.

The best advice I ever received: Not to worry about what other people think.

When I was a child, I wanted to be: A writer.

Most people don't know that: My heterochromia is due to my past neuroblastoma.

My favorite quotation: "I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice." (Terry Pratchett, Sourcery)

Although you didn’t ask, I’d like to tell you anyway: Over 10% of pet owners dress their pets in Halloween costumes. My Snowshoe Siamese, Shai, has his own Trick-or-Treat t-shirt.
