Originally a student of Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin: Madison, I am now a pre-law student in my final semester at the University of Wisconsin: Milwaukee, with a primary major in political science with a legal studies concentration and dual major in Communications with no concentration. I have obtained nearly 40 credits in political science and 30+ credits in communications, with a credit focus on public speaking and rhetoric, though I do not record any official specialization in my communications degree.
My interest is primarily in case briefs, of which I retain nearly 40 as a result of required legal studies assignments in the areas of Civil Rights Law, International Law, and the requirements of "polsci 411: Federalism and the Law." I have never recorded less than a 100% on any submitted case brief. In addition to my primary curriculum, I have significant credits in Writing under the English department of the College of Letters and Sciences (including 6 credits of creative writing and 3 of literary analysis, with an uncompleted ((late-dropped)) course in film and literature) and philosophy courses including Introduction to Philosophy and Contemporary American Political Thought, in political philosophy. My senior thesis has been completed, in the area of the sources of Law used by the US Supreme Court in argumentation.
I also have extensive interests in strategic and Role-playing gaming, with 10 years of primary experience as a gamer. I have an admittedly amateur interest in technology and physics, as a writer of science fiction, specifically Cyberpunk near-fiction. My greatest areas of amateur knowledge in this area is in theoretical technology, cybernetics and nuclear physics and production of weaponized nuclear materials. My knowledge in these areas I would characterize as a competent amateur with semi-professional knowledge: more than an average citizen, but only that which is available via secondary sources including Wikipedia, reports from the Johnston's Archives, IAEA and the Los Alamos Report(specifically their extensive report on nuclear accidents, both commercial and military). I have read most of the seminal works of Cyberpunk literature and gaming and consider myself an expert as far as is permitted without a formal masters degree in near-future sci/fi literature.
