Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi, all! My name is Jo (they/them), and I'm a 4th year at Northwestern! One of my classes focus around Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, so I wanted to give some background for my D&D knowledge. I've been playing D&D for 9 years now, since I was 13 years old, and I've been a Game Master/Dungeon Master for about half of that time. I love coming up with new, exciting worlds for my friends and families to play in, and I love teaching people how to play and how great D&D can be as a social tool! If you're ready to have a good time and explore how gameplay can bring people together, feel free to sign up!

I also have 7 years of general public speaking experience that I'm excited to share with those of you taking my public speaking classes! Overall, we're gonna have a great time!
