Jude is new to Boston and excited to explore the city. They are a recent graduate of Mount Holyoke College, where they studied English, Spanish, and Latin American studies. Originally from Miami, they appreciate taking long trips on the Green Line and the abundance of crosswalks on Boston streets, though they do miss their old neighbors’ fresh mangoes. Before joining 826 Boston, they worked as a live event technician at their alma mater. Between chapters of a good book, they collect fragments of novels and chapbooks they hope to write someday in their notes app. They love documenting the mushrooms they find on their walks through parks, borrowing books from the library, and doing crosswords from the local newspaper. On an average day, they can be seen sitting cross-legged with their laptop open to no fewer than a million tabs.
