Bio

I have always been interested in science; one of my favorite memories is going to the University of Oklahoma's Sam Noble Natural History Museum. I loved that museum so much that I had my 5th birthday party there. The next year when I turned 6, I had a mad science themed birthday party. Both parties helped fuel my curiosity, and it is now my dream to become a chemical engineer. The dream first started my freshman year of high school when I took my first chemistry class. My teacher was absolutely amazing when it came to teaching, and he inspired my to continue taking chemistry classes. I hope to use my skills to help make the world a better place, and inspire others that they can achieve their dreams.
