About Me

Hi everyone! I've lived in both New England and Colorado. I was a scientist at a large biopharmaceutical company for the past two years. I just left that job in advance to beginning grad school. I enjoy history, reading, comedy, trading stories, meeting new people, and traveling. I have a thick Boston accent and I promise you'll find me to be clean, kind, genuine, and compassionate!
