Earlier today, after spending weeks requesting a refund from Uber over an incident where I was denied a ride due to my service dog, Uber finally agreed to not only refund the cancelled ride and the Uber Pet ride I took afterwards as a result, but also to give me credit. 1/5

I will never forget my roots and where I came from. This photo is from a summer I spent conducting research and learning how to extract DNA from E. coli through gel electrophoresis. While I sometimes miss my chemistry days, I definitely do NOT miss the smell of E. coli or making these gels. 4/4

In addition to posting about disability and higher education related issues, you can sometimes find me posting about other political issues that I am deeply passionate about or my longtime service dog, Jigg! 4/4
