About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do good research, help others, make community

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to Philly to start my PhD in Neuroscience at U Penn. I'm still settling in but maybe I can host you and we can discover Philadelphia together!

but yeah, i am pretty laid back, like to do karaoke, drink and make crafts. I want to keep surfing, find the coolest bar's and hangouts in town and attend lots of concerts.

I in summer of 2009 i competed in a charity rally race. My team and I, 4 of us, drove a Nissan Micra from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. That was awsome.

in summer 2010, I worked in a bio/nano/engineering lab near Tel Aviv and made short trips around Israel, Jordan, Egypt and the West Bank.

If you have any questions about LA or SD feel free to email me!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always trying to figure that out
