Adventures
Life happens between the data points
What This Is All About
Welcome to the moments that live between the data points and outside the lab—the beautiful chaos, unexpected discoveries, and genuinely ridiculous moments that make up a life worth living. This is where I share the adventures, the daily wonder, and the goofy things that happen when you’re paying attention to the world around you.

Dog
Meet the love of my life
Seaweed dog - The Fragrance Connoisseur
Beach day • 2024
She will find the most spectacularly stinky kelp and roll in it with the dedication of a perfume critic. Ten out of ten, would stink again.
- The Fragrance Connoisseur
IV Recovery Mascot (and insatiable composter) - Environmental Activist
Beach cleanup • 2024
She may not understand why we’re cleaning, but she’s definitely helping—and enjoying every second of being at the beach with her people.
- Environmental Activist
- Research Companion
UCSB Research Lab • 2024
When your lab assistant has four legs, unlimited enthusiasm, and absolutely no interest in the data you’re analyzing.
- Research Companion
🌊 Beach Life
Living near the ocean saves my life on the daily. The salt water is where ideas come alive, where I remember what matters, and where the best conversations happen.
Beach cleanup volunteers - Community Care
Beach cleanup • 2024
When strangers become stewards, and an afternoon at the beach becomes an afternoon caring for home.
- Community Care
Moments with mother - Golden Hour Wisdom
Evening beach walk • 2024
The best conversations happen with your feet in the sand and the sky turning colors you can’t quite name.
- Golden Hour Wisdom
Beach art - Accidental Creation
Low tide creativity • 2024
Art happens when we’re not trying. The ocean has its way of reminding us that creation is everywhere—we just have to show up and play.
