I am a 29-year-old student at Iowa State University. I am working on my second undergraduate degree. My first was in nursing, and now I am pursuing a double major in Physics and Philosophy. I worked as a neuro nurse at the Mayo Clinic for 5 years, and quit to pursue my own education full time in 2005. I intend to use my experiences in neurology and my degree in physics to pursue research in the relatively new field of quantum neuroscience.

My other interests include the studies of religion and philosophy (with particular emphasis on existentialism), gender studies, GLBT rights issues, alternative relationship structures and communal living models.

I live in a cohousing community, and along with my cohousing partners, I am concerned about the apparent unsustainability of the current suburban model for living.
