9 july 2024: hello world
I decided to start my own website. I have been meaning to do this for a while, but hosting fees are not the most amenable to my finances at the present. Luckily, I am a child and internet user of the early 2000s-- how could I forget Neocities?
Besides serving as an experiment in learning to code basic HTML, I hope for this page to serve as a repository of my professional information. Resumes, writings, work samples-- but also a place for me to document and share my thoughts regarding life, art, and the world. Particulalry, documenting my Fulbright experience so friends and family may see what I am up to while in Nimma.
This page is for the longform content too serious to post to my private social media, but not formal enough for a dedicated LinkedIn post. This page offers a glimpse into the work I do, but also the person I am.
With that in mind, cheers! I will update this blog in the coming days once I have the bones of this site put together more. I look foward to updating you all about my life in Mississippi since I left the UWS.
All my best.

p.s. I am hoping to attach an image alongside these blog posts. Today's image is taken at the former sight of Lake Arkabutla in Desoto County, MS. The lake was created in the '40s by the US Army Corp of Engineers to alleviate flooding in the Mississippi Delta. In 2023, the USACE found that part of the dam holding the artifical lake in place was compromised. To alleviate the stress on the dam, portions of the lake were drained. Were you see verdant greenery in this image is where muddy Mississippi water once was.
