30

As a WRITER, my journals fill quickly, letters become thick packets, my blog continues to expand, and my daily writing project on sex has become difficult.

As a RUGBY PLAYER, I am described as inspiring, eager, strong, tough, talented, great hair, quiet but bold.

As an ARTIST, I am described as still learning how to use oil pastels, lover of Georgia O'Keeffe's work, can't draw a chair, and learning how to put feeling into my technically trained hands while playing piano.

As a SCIENTIST, learning is powerful, but I would rather experience another culture than troubleshoot a NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrometer.

As a PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER, I am living in Guinea, West Africa teaching chemistry and physics to 7th-10th graders in French. I have a public blog, Letters from Guinea about my experiences living in a different country.

As a PERSON, I am easy going, open minded to many different experiences, a questioner who delves into the whys behind people's actions and thoughts, quietly reflective, always seeking answers.
