Hi folks! My name is Avery, and I'm a junior here at ISU! I'm majoring in philosophy with a pre-law concentration but also pursuing a minor in linguistics, so you could say I have a wide range of interests. This semester I'm tutoring PHIL 2201, Introduction to Logic. Outside of tutoring, you'll probably find me reading, running far too much, or attempting to learn guitar halfheartedly. Mostly, I'll be trying to wrap my head around the many ideas that have blown my mind.

ASL is such a fun language, I love everything about it! So, please come on over and sign with me, we will have a ton of fun and it will be a blast!!
