🎈 Fun Facts
★ In another life I was a neuroscientist studying neurodevelopmental disorders in children, a librarian, or a marine biologist studying jellyfish.
★ I love indoor and outdoor rock climbing and have been passionate about it for over seven years.
★ *Fingers crossed* I will be volunteering at the next Olympics in Paris. Regardless, I will be there and watching the Women's Soccer Gold match!
