I am a true southern belle, and I have lived in North Carolina for most of my life. I grew up right here in Charlotte, NC and I graduated from Independence High School. After high school I earned a BS in Biology from Florida A&M University, and then I continued on and earned a PhD in Toxicology from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I lived in NYC for a few years but I soon realized that I belong in the south. Other than science I absolutely love to shop and travel. If I see a Burlington, I'm attacking it, and I'm trying to make it to Morocco one day.
