Outside of work I spend my free time learning as much as I can about the world around us, finding time to slow down and experience being outdoors or under a microscope. I am an artist at heart, so I also make time for being creative and also enjoy the creativity of others.

In my spare time I draw, craft and read. I also enjoy video and board games. I collect minerals, rocks and plants. I like to travel and explore nature through hiking, visiting national parks and other natural wonders of the world.
