I was born in Lincoln Park, Michigan and lived in Detroit, Michigan, until I was 13. I moved to Alabama and graduated high school there. While in my junior year in high school, I took Analytical Chemistry at Tuskegee University towards my college credits (e.g. I was on my way to making a high B or an A, but got caught cheating on my test, so I got a C; couldn't resist and wanted an A, but, I would have passed the test anyway). I took AP biology in my senior year of high school. I took college literature and history at Troy St. University in Montgomery, the summer of high school graduation. I attended college in Lakeland, Florida. I did a summer internship in Fayetteville, Arkansas, during my junior year of college, publishing a research paper in Organic Chemistry. I attended college in St. Louis, Missouri at Washington University. I did another Summar internship at Argonne National Laboratory, near Chicago, Illinois, again publishing a research paper in energy research. I worked for the Food and Drug Administration in Bothell, Washington, as a chemist. I spent time in Oakland, CA, Kansas, Palm Springs, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Pennsylvanian, Huntsville, AL at NASA, and Maryland.
I had the most enjoyable time of my life in and around Lakeland, FL. Fayetteville, AR was also a very pleasant experience. However, Bothell, WA (and Washington) represents both the best place I have ever lived and worse place I have ever lived, as that was the place where I was fully and completely a free adult, starting my life out on my own.
