Education

U.C. Davis

Bachelor of Arts, English Literature, 1992

 

I was a Biology major for two years, studying to be an ophthalmologist, but not very enthusiastic about it. My father suggested that I study what I love at college and then get out in the real world to discover what I love as a career. I switched majors to English Literature and now I do completely unrelated work that I thoroughly enjoy in a dynamic industry where I am constantly learning and implementing something new.
