“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver
An interesting fact that is not known about you
I love drawing and painting! I have taken up ‘plein air’ painting recently as I was inspired by the Impressionists.
What are your future aspirations or dreams?
I aspire to someday create a startup company that focuses on developing uses of microorganisms, as well as other types of fungi, to benefit the environment. There is untapped potential in a variety of areas such as their ability to be used as natural pesticides and to break down plastics and other damaging pollutants. Microorganisms present promising solutions to some of the most challenging problems of our time.
