What I like best about working for CMNS:

Learning about the different reasons science excites our students. I love to talk to students about their interests in the field and how we can put them to use as they pursue meaningful careers!

In my spare time, I enjoy:

Doing pottery, baking, gardening, and walking Baltimore's harbor with my partner and our dog, Taz!
