About Me

5th year (humph!) PhD student at Pitt Grad School of Public Health studying epidemiology. For those dying to know what the hell that really is here's one definition that I like... "Epidemiology, the study of the frequency, distribution and determinants of disease in humans, is a fundamental science of public health. Epidemiologists use many approaches, but the ultimate aim of epidemiologic research is the prevention or effective control of human disease." I am interested in genetics and biomarkers of diseases. Like some day maybe we can take a hair sample, profile your DNA and tell you what chronic diseases you are going to have to watch out for as you go through life. For my dissertation work I am looking at the genetics of osteoporosis in men. I plan to graduate in April!! (yippie!) In August, I started my first real epi job at Children's. I am enrolling patients into a study of brain injury biomarkers. I really like it!

Enough about vocation... lets talk passion! I love to sing!!! (hey, what were YOU thinking??? hehe) I have been singing in choirs for well over 20 years and have been taking voice lessons for about 4 years. Currently I sing with my church choir (First United Methodist Church of Pgh in Shadyside) and Shadyside Choral Society when I can where I am one of the youngest members. I like to sing baroque style and classical music the most. I am a soprano so I am really learning how to come into my own as "DIVA". Still working on it and perfecting it... but getting there! :) Oh yes, we can't forget my tendency to go to Karaoke Tuesday nights with the Myspace Meetup/BarSmart crue at St. James Place Tavern!!!

I am a newlywed (little over a year). Winter is approaching and hubby will be trying to get me to ski. We have a new addition to the house and I think he will be bugging her to join us. My niece moved in this fall to look for jobs/schools. She graduated high school class of 07 and is excited to start some new things! She's at the Pens game with my hubby tonight and I am SUPPOSED to be writing on my dissertation!!! Well this needed to be updated! I will try to keep this updated more than once a year! I really love my fairy background so I think I will keep that a while longer.

I'd like to meet:

You are The Tower

Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.

The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.

The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

What does your eyes say
Exotic

You have a passionate personality, you have more guy friends then girl friends, and you are a very needy girl. You are very flirtatious, the attention you get is like a high for you. Your talent is knowing how to win a guys heart.

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

The eSPIN Personality Test

MY RESULT: Dramasaurus

Well, we have to admit - we're impressed. You do what you do really well. You're in control of your own destiny, and you always get your way.

The downside: you're just a tiny bit stuck-up. Seriously, it wouldn't hurt if you stepped back every once in a while and realized that there were other people on Earth besides you. It might humble you a little, but even better, you might meet some totally awesome people you wouldn't have even considered before. There's a lot of cool folks out there, and you might miss them if you're not careful.
