I am a Southern California native. This means that I enjoy going to both the beach and the mountains, sometimes both in the same day! My academic interests are in Biology and Computer Science. I am a new MRI technician and have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Information Systems. I enjoy collecting old books and Bibles. Some of my favorites right now include any Agatha Christie book, The One Year Bible, New International Version and The Compact Holy Bible: Reference Edition, King James Version. Additionally, my J. R. R. Tolkien handshake number is 3. This means that I have shaken the hand of someone who shook the hand of J. R. R. Tolkien's grandson, who has presumably shaken his hand at some point. When not working or reading, I like to watch old movies (film noir) and try new food. Recently, I have begun to develop an interest in Chinese food and feel very proud of myself for recently learning to use chopsticks! Xin Liu can attest to my recently acquired ability.
