Do you do anything besides research?

Swing Dance

I’ve started vintage swing dance in 2019, and have since danced in 7 different states! I have taken lessons in a variety of styles: lindy hop, charleston, and shag, to name a few. Additionally, I’ve taught lessons to beginners and to experienced dancers alike!

Painting

I learned how to paint with acrylic from my grandmother, and have keep up with painting as a hobby throughout the years. I paint on clothes and wooden models, in addition to on paper! I find that this creative expression appears throughout my hobbies and my research.

Figure Skating

I taught myself to figure skate as an adult while living in the birthplace of Professional Hockey. With consistent practice, I’ve learned a variety of skills, and enjoy skating anywhere there’s ice!
