What is your greatest extravagance? 
Food. I go out of my way for good food and spend way too much money, time thinking about, researching, cooking and eating it. That and waking up early in the morning as not to be in a rush.

What do you consider the most overrated virtue? 
Patience... probably because I lack it.

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? 
The ocean, so I could be in every corner of the earth at one time.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? 
Getting my PhD was pretty cool, but I like to think that the journey of finding purpose, connection and small pleasures in life every day is a great achievement.

Where would you most like to live? 
Anywhere with people I love... and a warm tropical breeze. 

What is it that you most dislike? 
Illogical things and unkindness.

What is your most marked characteristic? 
I'm serious without taking myself too seriously.

If there was one thing you could change about your tech transfer job, what would it be?
I love my role as a licensing associate, helping our investigators move their research closer to commercialization and making an impact on patient lives. If I could change one thing, I'd have a really good pour over coffee shop located on my floor and maybe more food options!
