In July 2025, the Trump administration shut down the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth, a federally funded program that had served an estimated 1.5 million young people since 2022. The Trevor Project, which operated nearly half of that service’s contact volume, continues to provide 24/7 crisis support independently, but now without federal funding.

About Me

I’m a pianist who enjoys playing classical and jazz pieces. Currently, I’m trying to learn the bansuri, an ancient bamboo flute originating from the Indian subcontinent. It’s an instrument I find particularly beautiful—here is Baqir Abbas playing one of my favorite jazz standards on one.

My favorite movie is Chungking Express. My favorite video game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I was born over 21 years ago along the banks of the Monongahela.
