I grew up in southern New Mexico and have spent my whole life there except for 2 amazing summers I spent living in Boston working at Boston University. A year ago I moved to Ann Arbor to attend the University of Michigan to get my PhD in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.
Obviously, I love science and I'm kind of a nerd/geek but in the most awesome of ways. Science is one of my passions and I generally love being in the lab. There are days with long hours and frustrating results and it is a challenge... but it is also very rewarding.
I didn't always want to be in research. I started off wanting to be a large animal veterinarian, specifically focusing on equine medicine. On the way to achieving that, I met some amazing, brilliant, horrible, fun, dull, stupid, optimistic, grumpy, and nice people all of which led me down the path I am now on.
So... here is everything random about my life. The ups, the downs, the steady moments, and mostly those funny, random, awkward events that make life memorable.
