Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hey there! I was born and raised in Massachusetts, but I've traveled (some of) the world and have a thirst for new things and new knowledge. I study cognitive neuroscience and love looking at how the mind pieces things together. There's not a dog that goes by that I won't try to pet, and I think goats are cute and delicious.
