When I was a kid, I wrote an autobiography about what I wanted to be when I grew up. First of all, the autobiography was 40 pages long and I was 9 years old. Secondly, I said that I wanted to do eight different things when I grew up. 

To my parents’ credit, they never discouraged me from living out this dream. So here I am, someone with my hand in just too many pots at once, but enjoying all of them far too much to quit. 

Depending on where you first found me, you may know about some very different things that I do.

I’m a regular streamer on Twitch, playing video games, hosting trivia, and crafting. You can usually find me on Thursdays and Saturdays, although my schedule as of this update (May 2026) can be a bit sporadic. I also do a lot of 6-hour and 12-hour streams, mostly benefiting the Wisconsin MS Society Challenge Walk.

I produce two podcasts – one about The Bachelor and horror movies (and any other pop culture topics that come up), and a second about food and health and what happens at that intersection, which is an interview show. The second podcast is on hiatus, but the first one has over 200 episodes. Check it out! 

I also have a blog about living dairy-free that I started in 2013. It has over 200 posts and growing. Stay tuned, because summer 2026 will mean lots of new posts are coming! 

I used to write more regularly about living with a chronic illness, but my focus has shifted in a more academic direction. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in nutrition, mostly studying the history of home economics. I’m also a graduate TA. Hopefully, I can share more about dissertation and book writing work in the near future! 

I started painting in 2025, and am currently running an art business – S.Ditto Art. I have a studio in Northeast Minneapolis and regularly sell at art fairs. The best way to find out about those is to go to my website or social media pages (more on that on that particular site). 

Feel free to explore any of the links above, or the ones in the navigation. Soon, I’ll have short summaries about everything I do on this site! But if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out and email me.
