I was born in Sumter, South Carolina and raised in and around Columbia. Growing up, I am an AB student that did about equally well in science and humanities courses. I surf the internet while watching tv, doing homework, eating dinner, etc. Always on the lookout for cool things to share! As a journalism student that had spent many long nights studying mass media law, including copyright. I wanted to work for a newspaper's Web department, bringing journalism into the digital age.
