About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I am a 23 year old from Rochester, NY who recently graduated from Hartwick College(though many would argue it's more like Hartwick High School). I have now lived in Houston, Tx for a year and a half. I am a Ph.D student in the department of immunology at Baylor College of Medicine. At Hartwick I double majored in chemistry and biology . During my summer as an undergrad I have done HIV vaccine development research at the University of Rochester and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I miss all of my friends from lab! Current interests of mine include lacrosse, which I play in college, soccer, weight lifting, reading, chatting .. (feel free to IM me: JVSocclax9), and being social with friends. I am not, however, against staying in and just watching a movie; that is one of my all time favorite things to do.
I have had numerous jobs in my life. In the past, I've worked for Highland Family Medicine as a file Clerk, I've worked for Keebler as a vacation relief salesman, and my first ever job was working in Wegmans Supermarkets in the grocery department. It's hard to believe that 6 years ago as a young, even more immature adolescent I started working at Wegmans, and I still work there today during breaks and the summer. While at School I also work for Red Bull , the energy drink. If you'd care to know more, shoot a message my way! I also worked as a bouncer for a few months.
I speak some italian (i took it for 5 years and went to italy to play soccer when i was 11), english (obviously), and I'm learning spanish. I think other languages and cultures are fascinating. Anyway, If you have any more questions feel free to shoot me an Instant Message on A0L .. JVSocclax9 . Click the links below for more pics. Ci Vediamo Presto!

Graduate School
