ABOUT ME

I'm in College studying Biochem with an Anthro minor. I'm premed, but I try not to be a crazy stressed premed student. From the wonderful city of Salt Lake and love to talk about how actually interesting and not boring it is.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of things or they will get the better of you. Anyway, life is more fun when you're an optimist.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couch surfed once. It was in Madison the night before I took the MCAT. It was fantastic, and I want to do it every chance I get. I've also hosted two surfers at my house in SLC. They were both great, and I want to keep surfing/hosting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two weeks after my senior year of high school, I went to the Bahamas with my family and learned how to do the trapeze.

Teach, Learn, Share

1.Cooking (bread, salads, lots of vegetarian dishes)
2.Food knowledge
ex. a. why eggs solidify when heated- disulfide bonds
b. how rennet turns milk into cheese- it clips off negative bits of
milk proteins and causes them to make a network, trapping
water and fat.
c. how to store bread- room temp in paper or bread box or in
freezer in a plastic bag. NEVER in plastic at room temp or in the
fridge
d. How to carbonate fruit- pressure cooker + dry ice + steamer or
just a towel + fruit + lid of pressure cooker.
3.Guitar
