My name is Hadley Krummel, and I grew up a little fiery cotton top blazing through the humid summers of West Houston. I attended Houston Christian high school, ended up at The University of Virginia, and am now pursuing a degree in Cognitive Science with a minor in Spanish and Data Analytics. I've always enjoyed most everything I've ever done, and it took me a while to recognize that you can pursue professional success while having fulfilling hobbies on the side: so birthed this blog into reality.

​

Why Glomp? The day I sat down to bring this blog to fruition, I held a brush in my hand glomping thick paint onto the roof of our house. I had no idea what it meant, but I could just hear each gelatinous mass of pigment speak to me as it flew through its arc to its new home on the wood below, glomp. Curious, I opened my laptop to see if the onomatopoeia was even a word at all, and a tiny smile took my lips. 

​

"a lunging, over-the-top, and potentially dangerous hug that often begins with a running start, like a tackle."

 

Just like the satisfying smush of paint to roof, I attempt to collide zealously with life. Being an "over-the-top" person and a hugger myself, I thought Glomp the perfect word to encapsulate this page of my existence analyzed. I feel I walk the obnoxious intersection between enthusiasm, risk, and passion in my daily creation of reality, so what better word to employ as the vexillum to it all.
