About Me

I'm 21, a biochemistry major, an older brother, a student researcher, a friend, a waiter, an avid music and movie fan and a food aficionado. I'm inquisitive, introspective, OCD, sarcastic, friendly and loyal.
I like making friends, so if any of that sounds appealing to you, feel free to say "Hi"
