"Time is a precious thing. Never waste it. "-Wonka
I have a wide variety of interests. I have been horseback riding for 11 years, I love photography, and I have been interested in astronomy for many years.
I work at Science Museum Oklahoma, which is an amazing, science-centered job. I love it more than I can describe.
My life goal is to be happy with my job, and never stop learning.
"There's no limit to how much you'll know, depending how far beyond zebra you go."
— Dr. Seuss

Extracurricular
- Horseback riding 1996 to Now
- I have been riding horses, english style, since I was 5 years old. I began jumping when I was 10. This has since become my favorite activity on horseback. I have had my horse for 6 years, and he is a 16 year old Morgan named Danny.
- Oklahoma City Astronomy Club 2006 to Now
- The summer before my freshman year of high school I learned about the Oklahoma City Astronomy Club, and attended a public star party. On that day I first saw jupiter and saturn through a telescope. I attended meetings for several years, and although my schedule no longer permits them, I still stargaze often on my own. I like to share my astronomy knowledge with friends, and I have taken several different people with me to watch meteor showers or eclipses. This fall I plan to go to the large Okie-Tex Star Party in Black Mesa, OK.
