i'm a recent graduate in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and an aspiring genetic counsellor who spends the majority of my time rotting at my desk. i work in cancer sequencing and treatment at the moment (full time!)

outside of my academics, i love to create art. i've been drawing and writing for as long as i can remember, and although i have taken an extended break from fiction writing due to art school burnout, i'm slowly getting my spark back (in part thanks to my lovely boyfriend, who the majority of my projects are in collaboration with). in the month of october, i plan on doing a writing study to get myself back into the spirit of it.

my forever special interests are my ocs, the horror genre, abnormal psychology, and pathophysiology. i'm a huge science nerd, and will ramble about it happily at any time. a lot of entries into my digital commonplace book will be about research articles that i've found interesting. currently, the outlast franchise has burrowed its way into my brain hard (thank you singular edit of liliya bogomolova i saw for re-igniting that one), and i'm working through playing the outlast trials :)

i'm also slowly moving my artwork and writings (maybe) to here. i find that social media is a horrible place to be an artist, and my feelings on that can be summarised in a far more eloquent manner through MyrtleTribe's "On using social media as art platforms". she put it into far better words than i've been able to. most of my art (at the moment) can be found on toyhouse — though only people i authorize can see them, so mutuals and friends, please reach out to let me know if that's something you'd like.

if you'd like to know how to get a toyhou.se invite code, please check out the reddit, it's how i got my invite code waay back when :,)
