About

I’m a nerd, smartass, and antisocial extrovert. I am the forever student; I’ve been in school for what seems like ages, studying public health, nursing, and now certified nurse midwifery. I like science. I hate the inappropriate use of quotation marks and misspellings on public signs. I enjoy single malt scotch, reading, public transit, vintage clothing, cheese, and looking in my fridge and pretending I’m on “Chopped” while making supper. I’m a bit clumsy and am affectionately known as “Grace” by my parents because they like to be ironic. I have an incredible husband and an amazing family. I play ukulele. My favorite color is blue.
