Who I Am Outside the Lab
🌍 A Passion for Exploration
I have always loved exploring new places, and to date, I have traveled through more than 25 U.S. states. Many of those trips have taken me to national parks, scenic byways, and hidden natural gems across the country. Living in Chattanooga, Tennessee has been a perfect match for that passion. It is surrounded by beautiful landscapes and has been officially recognized as the nation's first National Park City, celebrating its commitment to nature, accessibility, and outdoor living.
⚽ Soccer, the Beautiful Game
I am a big fan of the English Premier League, and I have been proudly supporting Arsenal for years. From thrilling comebacks to heartbreak finishes, the highs and lows of following the Gunners are part of my weekly rhythm. COYG! (Come On You Gunners!)
🏸 Active on and off the field
In addition to watching soccer, I enjoy playing both soccer and badminton. It is mostly badminton these days. I have taken part in several local tournaments and find it to be a fun and energizing way to stay active.
