I was born and raised in the south bay of San Diego, a very diverse community filled with different cultures, so diversity is the norm for me. I went to UCSD, where I earned a BS and then an MS in physics. I also enjoy educating others about science, and earned an MEd from UCSD as well. I love science, animals (especially cats), and veggie burgers.
