Hobbies
I have a passion for the natural world, and as such, I enjoy anything outdoors. My favorite place is the beach, but I love the forest too. I think that being in the natural world helps to establish a love for all things science, which is where my education got its start. Additionally, I love long running (or walking if I've got my old dog with me), cooking, reading, writing, crafting, and exploring.
