About me

Gender Female
Occupation artist, biologist, educator
Location Randolph, New Hampshire, United States
Introduction I am just a dreamer trying to take a stab at living in this reality, sometimes it is tougher than expected...I try to balance my time between artistic and scientific pursuits and get a healthy dose of fresh air and time with friends. Right now I am trying to figure out how to work as little as humanly possible for somebody else and still live richly.
