CURRENT MISSION

To become a rock climbing ninja

ABOUT ME

I love my job (teaching), playing ukulele, reading and talking about books, geeking out with likeminded podcast-listening sciencey types, going to indie music concerts, and doing some hiking at Red Rock and Death Valley.

I just started rock climbing (lead my first 5.7!) and would love to host or Meetup with any climbers - even if you don't want to climb with my noob self :)
