My self-summary
I laugh a lot and roll my eyes in an endearing fashion. I recently moved to Athens from Brooklyn, where I worked as an editor and ecologist. I'm big on reading, creative writing, and exploring outside. Oh and all kinds of photography are excellent. But I love my macro lens the most.
What I’m doing with my life
Doing the PhD thing in ecology at UGA, studying vampire bats and human rabies in Peru. I'm over in Atlanta once or twice a week for work at the CDC too. When not busy with work, I read short stories or have a beer or two with friends. I also write from time to time.
I’m really good at
being a night owl
getting lost in a book
entertaining your dog
reciting obscure information on parasites
identifying leukocytes

You should message me if
If you think whiskey is delicious. If you want to run around town. If you're down to grab a coffee or drink. Extra points if you have glasses, consider leggings to be pants, and own ugly sweaters.
