Overview
About Me
I study information science at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I earned my PhD in chemistry in 2016 and then hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for shits n' giggles. I like meeting individual people, but hate crowds. I like the outdoors, but appreciate staying in. Always willing to go out for a drink.
