: About Me

I graduated from Shippensburg University, where I earned a B.A. in Psychology, with a minor in anthropology. I also attended school in Chico, CA. My family is wonderful. I live with and love the most brilliant & handsome man. I look forward to growing old with him.

I am interested in altered states of consciousness, psychedelics, the pineal gland, psychological & philosophical variations across cultures, & the human mind in general. I plan on earning PhDs in Psychological Anthropology and in Neuroscience.  I look forward to becoming a professor, and conducting research in the field as well as in the lab.  I'd like to teach college in the US and abroad-specifically in Latina America, India, and around the Mediterranean.

I plan to always be learning, moving, & taking care of my body so that I can continue to do what I do for as long as possible.
