ABOUT ME
As a creative scientist, I strive to push the limitations in which science is viewed and practiced. I believe the scientific process should be accessible to every single person, as well as inspiring and motivating, fueling a fire to look deeper into the constructs of our world and empowering the individual in a realization that infinite discovery is always possible and present. I view my career, as well as the scientific process itself, as a spiritual path. I am working not only to facilitate deep connectivity and a gratifying life experience through discovery and curiosity, but also to improve the state and understanding of this world.
