I’m a Seattle native and never leave home without my raincoat and running shoes.  I grew up here and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology.  I am a huge science nerd and plan to eventually obtain to get my Ph. D.  When I don’t have my nose in a book, I enjoy hiking in the Cascade Mountains, playing soccer, triathlon training, rock climbing, going to shows and watching soccer.  Seattle recently got a MLS soccer team, the Sounders, and watching their games is my favorite thing to do these days.
