I graduated from Arizona State University with Bachelors degrees in Chemistry and Spanish, and a minor in Italian. I spent my junior year studying abroad in Granada, Spain, where I dared to take Italian and Inorganic Chemistry. Perhaps I should stick to tricky science in my native language.

The fluffy fresh of the Wasatch Mountains called me back to Salt Lake City, where I have worked as a scientist in bioanalytical chemistry for three years. I am now studying Chinese and pursuing a graduate degree in theoretical linguistics at the University of Utah. I love to alpine ski, dance, run, and travel.

I have had the opportunity to visit many of Europe's countries, as well as Argentina, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia. (That's Byron Bay behind me.) Many more travel adventures lie ahead. I was at Torino 2006, so Beijing 2008, here I come!
