Overview
About Me
I've just finished my postgraduate degree in the UK and I am now currently working as a research assistant in the US. I am trying to see as much of the states as I can before my contract is over. I love science, music, and food! I enjoy practicing yoga and I have started to learn Japanese thanks to Duolingo. I like live music and playing the ukulele and keyboard.
