(Knows) About Dogs
I love learning about learning, thinking about thinking, learning about thinking, and thinking about learning. I also love animals.
After years of fostering, I adopted my dog Zina in my first year of grad school. She started as a foster fail who had been rescued from a house with 117 dogs, and fostered my own love of nosework and dog sports in general.
You can learn more about my dog life here:
