Hobbies

I am interested in and have tried many things. Since I was in eighth grade, I've been playing low brass instruments including trombone, euphonium, baritone and tuba. I continued my musical interests in undergrad by taking on a music minor and continuing to play in college ensembles. I also have athletic interests - when I was in high school, I was on the track team and continued that by becoming part of my college track team as well. In the middle of my college career, I also tried competitive rowing. My greatest interests are in psychiatric, neuroscience, and clinical psychology. I have a biology background as well and use that experience in the clinical research I help with.
