Welcome to the starting block to access categorized blog posts including my book recommendations, the project I’m currently working on (Summer 2025: Instacart Urban Ethnography), post about my journey to build my own business, and more!
Book Recommendations & Reviews
I am a learning > schooling person. On a day-to-day basis, audiobooks are my go-to. I use my BREAD rating system to categorize my recommendations and create 4 book curated collections on topics of interest.
Instacart Urban Ethnography
During summer 2025, I’m being a full-service Instacart shopper—through it, I’m getting a close look into the nuances of Chicago neighborhoods and near suburbs. Beyond what people are buying and who makes up each neighborhood, I’m learning things like how surveillance varies, how people greet each other, and more. Follow along!
Entrepreneurial Updates
As I work on building my own business, I’ll share updates and goals here. It’s for my own reflection, for those curious, and maybe one day to be helpful for other folks starting their own ventures.
Everything Else
This is a home for the miscellaneous things! Until I have enough posts in a certain category to make them their own section.
