Do you have any special talents that few people in your academic life know about?
I actually have a black belt in karate! I’m a little out of practice since I haven’t been to class in while, but I started taking lessons when I was around 8 years old.

Do you have any special talents that few people in your academic life know about?
I learned how to ride horses as a kid and still do any chance I get. I also got into cooking during the pandemic and have turned into a pretty good cook!

Do you have any special talents that few people in your academic life know about?
My lab definitely knows about this, but I’m a pretty decent baker. I like baking because it’s as if your experiments always worked as expected and everyone was excited about the results.
