Image Description: Amira, her black and white field English Springer Spaniel, Penguin, and her brown and white bench English Springer Spaniel, Pierogi, walk away from the camera on a rocky beach. Amira, wearing a green oversized t-shirt with white abstract designs on the back, is holding her dogs' leashes in her left hand. While both dogs are to Amira's left, Penguin is ahead of Amira on the rocks, while Pierogi is in an orange life vest behind Amira.

Salve (sal-way) is a Latin verb meaning "be well," or "be in good health." Latin references are just one of the many cross-disciplinary themes you'll find woven throughout this space as I intentionally breathe life back into the parts of myself I used to think "didn't fit in."

Accordingly, Juris Dogtor is a refuge for other boundlessly creative souls who resist being crammed into a box. I'm excited to tend to the coals I've neglected so that I may build a hearth whose flames dance with enough fervor to warm the bones of passionate, creative people across various cultures, academic disciplines, belief systems, backgrounds, and more.

Awomen (Get it? Instead of Amen?),

Amira, Juris Dogtor
