CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in upstate New York. In attempt to escape the winters and continue my education I moved to Blacksburg, Virginia to study at Virginia Tech. I recently moved to San Francisco to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences. I like places where the cups don't match and the people don't either.

PHILOSOPHY

You cannot step twice in the same river.
