INTERESTS: I enjoy the outdoors and spent a lot of time hiking and camping. I recently went
to Pictured Rocks, and enjoyed the natural beauty of the many waterfalls and beautiful
landscape.
I also participate at Center for Inquiry, an institute devoted to promoting
science, reason, and freedom of inquiry. I spent one week in July, 2008 at State
University New York at Buffalo, New York for a Student Leadership Conference.
I’m also very interested in many types of lectures, talks, or debates, ranging
from politics, religion to evolutionary and environmental studies. This is a great way to
stay informed and meet diverse people.
