I’m an environmental scientist in applied research. Started as a technologist where I was handed experiments to plan and execute.

All that chaos and stimulation was perfect for a brain that needs lots of novelty, pressure, and stimulation. Any time I started to get bored with the work I was doing, something completely different came up.
