I have three baccalaureate degrees in English, Psychology, and Criminal Justice. Education can be very exciting, and it doesn't have to end in the classroom, however: I also studied animal behavior while in Washington, where I worked with chimpanzees who spoke sign language, and I assisted with research on dolphins while in Turkey. I love animals, as evidenced by the above experience. Otters are my favorite animals, because they make hard work look fun. They need to groom and hunt constantly, but they swim around as though they are always having the best time in the world. I try to apply this otter-esque attitude to everything I do. You never know what you can build out of your interests, or where those interests can take you. Hard work isn't always fun, but if we stay focused and smile along the way, we can do anything!

Kayaking, traveling, going to music and art festivals.
