I am a second-year undergraduate at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) studying Mining Engineering. In addition to core coursework, I am active in Mines Catholic and BioBuilders. I completed the Grandey First-Year Honors program, which focused on leadership and problem-solving skills. I interned in a laboratory where I gained research skills, designing and conducting a study on nicotine. I enjoy intramural soccer and ultimate frisbee. In high school, most of my coursework involved dual credit, honors, and AP classes. I worked part-time at an apiary and volunteered as a math tutor. I also earned varsity letters in cross country, track, and soccer. I was co-captain of a cross-country team that podiumed twice at state, including a state championship. I am passionate about running, fitness, and LEGOS. I enjoy learning about other cultures and making a difference in my community. I plan to spend a semester or two studying abroad.
