Bio
I'm a student at the University of Cincinnati majoring in Women's Studies with a focus on Sexuality Studies. I love film and television and pop culture studies. I'm hoping to one day work within the gay community professionally, at a Center or one of the large organizations. I'd be pretty thrilled to get published some day. I also love Chocolate and sour green apple Sprite.
