Fun Facts
Favorite books/movies?
I love Harry Potter! Both the books and movies.

If you could study any random thing other than HDFS/MFT, what would it be?
I’ve always thought it would be neat to be an archeologist.

What advice would you offer to someone thinking about graduate school?
Graduate school is just as much about the friendships and lasting relationships that you make as it is about the knowledge and experiences you gain.
