Home: California
Hello, new classmates! I often pause when someone
asks where I am from because I actually lived in the
Midwest for much of my childhood (born in Michigan,
raised in Minnesota). However, I would have to say I am
now fully Californian. I went to high school in Thousand
Oaks and college up in Berkeley. For the past six years, I
have been in San Diego for grad school, working mainly
with unnatural amino acids and antibodies. In my spare
time, I volunteered at free clinic, and I worked with
hospice for a little while as well.
My greatest asset has always been the people in my life.
My family is absolutely supportive as I take on yet
another four years of school. I have been fortunate to
stay in touch with my best friends from high school, and
San Diego has also been good to me in bringing me close
to some awesome individuals.

It is definitely time for me to shake things up a bit, and I
am looking forward to the new faces and adventures that
med school will bring.
