About me:
....Two of my favorite things to do are 1) biking and 2) looking at bugs under the microscope. I get to do both almost every day.
The bug part entails being a graduate student. One day I will get my degree, and do something when I grow up!
Also, I work for Prince George's County Council Member Tom Dernoga, a man of standards and honor (I'm being serious!)
My goal is to do something environmentally positive with my life.
I really love to travel. For the past 5 years or so I've done most of my traveling in Latin America. I love it there! It's cheap and I get to practice my Spanish. I just went to Turks and Caicos Islands (British West Indies) and did some scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, biking, and loafing. Can't wait for my next trip!
