In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, gardening and cooking (images below). Outside of enjoying the great outdoors, I really enjoy the arts and culture including performing and visual art functions, and have recently dabbled into watercolor painting.
Traveling and learning new cultures is extremely important to me. Meeting people of different backgrounds and learning of their stories and perspectives is extremely enriching. I hope to one day connect people in positive ways with the science that I conduct.
Without the support and love of my family and friends in Pennsylvania, Colorado and California, I would never be able to study and enjoy such beautiful science, art, and culture!
