Music has played a huge role in my life, and I'm happiest when I'm playing my French horn in a band/orchestra. I'm also passionate about biology, and I love photographing wildlife to identify unknown species I've come across (after trying for over two years, I finally got a clear picture of a chipmunk the other day!). When I'm not at work in the lab farming bacteria, I enjoy knitting, horror movies/literature, history, puzzle games, and spoiling my pet betta fish.
