Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm more or less equally passionate about art, molecular Biology, and Computer Science. Each lends its own perspective, and while I'm grateful for each, sometimes it's like I'm simultaneously three different people.
If you are interested in any of these three things, talk to me about it! I always love engaging in conversations pertaining to my fields.
