What’s some of the best advice you’ve ever been given?
The best advice I have ever been given was not really given but was read. I kind of gave it to myself. I read a quote that said "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it." That quote has gotten me through all my adversities and hard times, and I live by it.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I like to read, dance in the dark, write and I spend time writing band and skate interviews, I also am passionate about several different issues and causes in this world, and have been an activist since I was a kid. I like to spend time advocating and doing activism for various issues because I want to help create much needed changes and this is a huge part of who I am, fighting for others.
What do you like best about your major and/or minor?
I love brains so I really love learning about psychophysics, psychobiology, neurology, and neural circuits. As well as learning the different facets, concepts, ideas and research in my field. I love to learn!
