ABOUT ME

I go to Lewis and Clark College.
I'm studying biology with the hopes that I'll go to grad school to get a degree in marine science.
I like fish and seaweed and all things that creep in the ocean. I'll graduate from college only to become the most spankin' biologist you'll ever come to know.
I grew up in a Chicago suburb called Schaumburg.
I spent many winters building igloos in my backyard and many summers running through a sprinkler there.
I still like to build the occasional igloo when I go home for a visit.
I like running, climbing, and riding my bike when it isn't being stolen.
I have a dog named Jake. He is fabulous.

PHILOSOPHY

Do your homework.
