Personal

When not in the lab or organizing, I can often be found hiking, skiing, running, reading, or experimenting with vegan recipes. I also love to travel, especially to beautiful hiking locations, and have been to 26 National Parks so far! My husband and I have two mischievous cats, Gin & Tonic, pictured here.
