Overview
About Me
My dog and I are currently gallivanting in Los Angeles. I'm spending my days actively networking in my field. I coown a tech company and use to work in Neuroscience labs and in the medical field when I lived back east. Now I'm more interested in work with adolescents with disabilities and mental health issues.
I have a literary contract and am writing and illustrating a novel.
Interests
I adore my friends and spending time with them. I do consider myself somewhat of an intellect who prefers small intimate groups over large parties (that's not to say I don't enjoy going out every once in a while). My friends tell me I have a sick mind and a witty sense of humor. I've also been told one of my strongest traits is my sense of compassion for others.
I love traveling, hiking, and sincere conversation. My other interests:
-eating and cooking (my current goal is to cook perfect Eithiopian food).
-mysteries and good crime shows.
-exploring different cultures and places of historical significance.
-playing piano and guitar. I love singing and dancing but am terrified to do it in front of others.
-Science (particularly viruses, immunology, neuroscience, epidemiology, neuropsychiatry, and biology). One of my goals is promoting scientific literacy particularly in the anti-vaccine movement which I'm whole-heartedly against.
- Netflix and chilling (and not the dirty kind of 'Netflix and chill', honestly just I sincerely relaxing and watching TV with friends)
-playing with my dog. I train dogs as assistance animals.
