I grew up in Oregon then moved to Seattle for college. I completed a biology major with minors in dance and Chinese. Since college, I have been working and traveling; I spent eight months in China studying in Xiamen and doing volunteer research at an ecological base. I hope to keep having more wonderful experiences around the world and keep trying new things!
