A little bit about me

Name: Joy O'Dowd

I focused on molecular biology and did some research working with IGF proteins during my undergraduate studies.

I like to surf (alot)

I have two siberian huskies, a red-tailed childean boa constrictor, a snapping turtle, some feeder fish, a mouse, and now a beautiful baby girl.

I'm a coach.

I play polo with a great bunch of ladies on a mom's polo team.

I try to swim masters 3x a week... doesn't always happen.

I like participating in athletic competitions, ocean races are my favorite.

I've gone chumming for sharks during a summer internship and found that I get incredibly sea sick.

I'm a high school science teacher.
