About me
Science is AWESOME. I've used it in a lot of different areas of my life---from target-motion-analysis on nuclear-powered submarines, to scuba-diving physics and medicine. From landing a 540° aerial on a half-pipe to time-trialing 112mi on a bicycle through lava fields of Hawaii during a triathlon. From the classroom to the REAL world, science is EVERYWHERE. I'm SO excited to be on another adventure with you this year!
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving."
