I am a hydrogeology graduate student/research assistant/problem-solver trying to destroy the One Ring and pursue a career in web development. My Reddit addiction makes me especially good at knowing useless information before anyone else and my ability to become distracted by fluffy animals makes me an ideal candidate for becoming road-kill. An ideal Friday night involves close friends, board games and more laughter than talking...or complete isolation with Lord of the Rings movies and and a family size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
