  14. New #introduction post to pin to my profile.

    I love #knitting and have been doing it forever. I also like #reading, #skiing, #sewing, #girlscoutleading, and the #oxfordcomma, as well as different volunteer efforts like #boomerangbags. I nerd out listening to #economics podcasts like #marketplace, #planetmoney, #theindicator, #freakonomics, and also #hiddenbrain because brain science and #neuropsychology is cool.

    In the #Boston area and love it, if I can't be in #Canada.
