My 3 goals for 2013

  1. Roll out several new member benefits, including a research funding database.

The best advice I ever got

Pursuing your passion is rarely the easiest route, but it’s often the most rewarding.

What I do when I’m not at work

Bake, read, hike, P90X, and spend time with friends and family
