I study in the Biology Department at Loyola Marymount University. I learned about OpenWetWare from my professor, Dr. Dahlquist, and I've joined because it is part of the Bioinformatics Lab.
About Me
- Age: 20
- Family: Charlotte and Stephen (Parents), Paul (25 year-old brother), Emily (24 year-old sister), and Michael (17 year-old brother)
- Favorite Interest: Sports. I grew up playing, practicing, and watching all sports. My homepage is ESPN.com in order to always be up to date on the latest news in the sports world. I especially love watching baseball, particularly the St. Louis Cardinals. Although I love living in Los Angeles, I will always be a Cardinals fan.
- St. Louis to LA--Why?: Why not? I loved growing up in St. Louis, but it was time for a change of scenery. The weather in Los Angeles initially attracted me, and then Loyola Marymount and its campus was the finishing touch. I have loved every minute of being in Los Angeles and wouldn't trade my college experience for anyone else's.
- Best Experience: Studying abroad in Madrid, Spain was hands down the best experience of my life. I love to travel and I had never been to Europe before the 2009 Fall Semester. My girlfriend and I traveled to as many cities as possible and created incredible memories (including riding camels in Tangier, Morocco). If you have the opportunity to study abroad, I couldn't recommend it more. I traveled through about 8 different countries and nearly 30 different cities in three and a half months! If you are interested in learning more about the program, email me or if you just want to read cool stories of mine, check out my blog, The REAL Madrid.
