Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I'm Andre (they/he), a rising senior on a gap year. I’m originally from Eastern Kentucky, a small town called Paintsville. I study and do research in psychology, particularly in intersectionality, gender, race, and substance use. In my free time, I produce electronic pop music and play video games! I love having a laidback class with discussion and contributions from students! Feel free to ask me anything :-)
