ABOUT ME

I have been to all 7 continents.

I love bright colors cause they look sexy in blacklight.

I wish it were summer everyday.
I don't like winter or rain... and complain about it too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Best day of the past year: Last day of the research cruise in Antarctica this year we had a shore excursion at Neko Harbor. While riding zodiacs to shore scores of penguins swam/jumped through the water and ice bergs floated by. Once on shore we explored the penguin colony, walking down "penguin roads" with feet of snow on either side, and avoiding near collisions with determined yet clumsy penguins. Past the penguin colony was the mot extreme/amazing sledding hill. We all hiked up the glacier, enjoyed the view and shared expensive whiskey and scotch at the top. Then slid/fell head-over-heels down the glacier excited to trudge through the snow back up.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a marine science graduate student studying climate change in Antarctica, I relish every opportunity to teach others about the importance of our oceans. I do research in Antarctica once a year and have some stories from the oceanographic research cruises.

I have travelled quite a bit since my childhood and can offer travel advice for many different countries.

I make Octopi out of sculpty.

I would love to learn how to DJ.
