While research is my primary focus, I also enjoy exploring the great outdoors and trying new recipes in the kitchen. I am an avid skier and love to hit the slopes during the winter months. In the warmer months, you can find me hiking in the mountains with my dog Millie or visiting our national parks to take in the breathtaking landscapes. Cooking is also a major passion of mine, and I enjoy experimenting with new ingredients and cuisines to create unique dishes.
