Where’s your favorite place to chill on campus?
I like to hang out in the Molecular Biology research lab in the old science building.
What’s your favorite thing to do in Austin?
I like geocaching around Austin, when the weather is not being bipolar. I first learned what it was when I was watching an episode of Switched at Birth and some of the characters on there did it.
What do you do for fun?
I’m in my second ceramics class at school and I really like it. It’s a good stress reliever.
What’s your favorite spot in Austin?
As a science major, I enjoy going to Wild Basin. It has really pretty views and good hiking trails.
What’s your dream career?
I would like to be a research professor in academia in Biophysics. I also want to own my own Biotech company that promotes the idea of open science. Basically open science increases public access to science and allows people to conduct research that they normally wouldn’t get federal funding for.
