Perpetually updating -- 
​
My motivation to become a researcher was driven by my desire to save species and habitats. Since I was little I could be found going through field guides and playing in the dirt. I am perpetually intrigued by pretty much everything from human behavior, psychology, cosmology, pterosaur diversity, art history, to perfecting recipes. In my spare time I climb, run, do yoga, spin, tend to my pets and plants, tide pool, and bird watch.
