Hello!
I am currently a 3rd year physics undergraduate student. At the moment, I am unsure if I really want to pursue a PhD in physics or just go straight into the workforce. I always thought I wanted to go to grad school until a recent visit to a grad school that nearly turned me off.

Part time, I work in the writing center at uni helping humanities students. I have an eclectic set of talents and interests.
