I grew up in New Mexico with the privilege of exploring stunning areas from deserts to mountains, and luckily am now in Oregon to continue to do the same. I love to hike, snowboard, hang out with my animals, and probe the molecular world through chemistry/material science.

I am a Floridian in the sense that I grew up watching space shuttle launches from my backyard (and I went to Astronaut high), but Oregon has really captured my heart. I enjoy the beautiful hikes here, hanging out with my amazing fellow grad students, and dancing.

I am from Connecticut where I spent ample time camping in the Appalachian region. I now try and get out at least every other weekend into the surrounding Oregon wilderness where there is a new exciting natural feature every direction you turn. Beyond loving nature, I also am fond of community building and ensuring that everyone around me has the necessary tools to succeed personally and professionally.
