Oh hey there you beautiful creature, you. My name's Ilana. And this is my page. thing. I guess.
I consider myself from Ohio, but I've lived all over the country and currently reside in Boston. I love talking about all the places I've lived, so definitely feel free to ask!
What I'm doing with my life
I'm a grad student at Harvard focusing on educational technology, having graduated from MIT (vastly superior to Harvard, awkward) in June of 2015. I make educational video games, and it is basically the coolest thing ever. Like, don't even try to compete. Oregon Trail. Boom. Â I am particularly interested in how online communities function as spaces of learning and identity development for adolescents. Â It's pretty chill. Â and very relevant to imgur.
Favouritest of all the things
I love baseball (particularly the Cincinnati Reds), games (duh. I make them), and crappy TV shows.
My darkest secret
The first thing I ever did when parents left me alone in the house for the first time overnight was have ice cream for breakfast. It was horribly disappointing.
