CURRENT MISSION

to live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and having new experiences. I find people to be interesting and appreciate people who are just themselves. I like to be active and thrive on adventure. Luckily, I have a job I love, doing research in physics education (translated ... trying to understand why we keep teaching in the same bad ways).

PHILOSOPHY

I want to get and give the most I can from life. If it is new and/or will expand my horizons I'm in. I try to give back, to support the people around me, to speak out when there is the need and to work for a better world. I go with the flow, love to meet new people, and don't let plans prevent me from great opportunities that come along.
