ABOUT ME

PhD student in Cognitive Neuroscience, out-going and social, interested in almost every topic. I grew up in upstate New York. My partner is Chilean, has lived in the US for a few years, and is a software engineer. We both love meeting new people and exploring new places!

PHILOSOPHY

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I've flown a small plane by myself! It came after a year of pilot lessons when I was a teenager. I've also climbed the steps to Machu Picchu by moonlight.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Those aspiring to learn Spanish can speak to Carlos and practice their skills. We're also happy to talk about our vermicompost system, our work (his in software, mine in neuroscience), or Chilean politics and U.S. politics. Between us we cover a broad swath of interests, from heavy metal music (him) to the work of D.H. Lawrence (me), we are happy to share our insights. If you ever had a question about the brain or cognition, I would be happy to talk at length about neuroscience!
