Since graduation, I spent four years in college at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. While there, I spent one semester in a study abroad program in London and obtained a B.S. degree in Genetics. I naively decided to go straight to graduate school after finishing college. I spent eight years working on a Ph. D. in Biomedical Sciences at the University of California at San Francisco. While in San Francisco, I spent my free time rollerblading (I was a regular participant of the Friday Nite Skate, an event where a group of avid roller skaters/bladers skate a 12 mile loop running through the streets of San Francisco every Friday night), playing soccer (I briefly also flirted with rollersoccer, a combination of rollerblading and soccer), mountain biking, and martial arts (I continued practicing Tae Kwon Do, which I started when I was in middle school, and started learning Tai Chi and Kung Fu). After finishing grad school, I started a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, a private research institute with a branch located at the University of California, San Diego. I am currently still working there, where I continue to practice martial arts and teach a TKD class at UCSD. I am also engaged to Ashley Chen, who is still at UCSF finishing her postdoctoral fellowship.
