Hi there! I'm Kristi, I'm an associate research professor at University of Maryland, College Park and University of Hawai'i, Manoa (talk about a commute!). I plan to go to Graduate School for my Ph.D. in Astrophysics in a little bit and may get a masters in Geophysics between now and then for funsies. I have two hedgehogs that I am completely obsessed with and a vast collection of Star Wars legos. I play the oboe, english horn, and bassoon and spend a lot of what little free time I have reading anything I can get my hands on. I'm not sure how anyone could write 4,000 characters about themselves... or assume that someone browsing imgurians would want to read that much. I'm also not sure how to wrap this up without sounding awkward so... uh............... yeah.
