Me

 

I grew up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.  It is home to the London Bridge and can be one of the hottest places in the U.S.

 

Since high school graduation, I’ve been at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ.  I received my B.S. in 2007 and am currently working on my Ph.D.

Hobbies

 

I have tried many, many, many hobbies.  I thought I would eventually find my “thing,” my niche in this world.  Not so much…

 

You can add attempting to play the piano, singing, pottery, sewing, skateboarding, and volleyball to the list.

 

I’m now on to the bass guitar and cosmology.

 

Hair

 

Ch-ch-ch-changes!  All of my wonderful hairstyles since starting college.

 

Travel

 

I’ve studied abroad and traveled around a bit.
