Hi everyone! My name is Khushbu Patel and my family is originally from India. Currently, I can speak three languages: English, Gujarati, and Hindi. I am first generation in the United States so I grew up half Indian/half American. I am taking this course to finish my Masters in Science Education and can’t wait to start teaching high school life science!

I want to live near the beach someday so I posted a picture of me

at Miami beach!

Meet Maya! My four-year-old “puppy.”

So, this is my adorable little booger. She is a four-year-old German Shepherd-Chow mix who is obsessed with squirrels and cats. She’s a big fluff ball. I got her from the Humane Society here in Gainesville and she has been the apple of my eye since.
