Go Paperless! If you want to take your environmentally-conscious practices to the next level, you can choose to go paperless! You can receive all your bills and letters from banks, energy companies and other service providers by email. And remember: don’t print off documents unless it’s absolutely vital. You can also help the process by recycling any paper and cardboard you no longer need. Not only does going paperless save trees, but it also saves on emissions from the delivery of incoming mail.

What is the age in your life that stands out as the most memorable, and why?


My current age, 24, because it is the year the most has happened. I graduated from Iowa State University with a master's degree in Industrial and Agricultural Technology with a co-major in Agricultural Education. I started working at NICC, bought my first house and started working on my Ph.D. in Industrial and Agricultural Technology at Iowa State. I also visited the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, which is my current favorite spot I've visited.



Is there a book you’ve read that you love so much you’ve read it twice, or even multiple times?


The entire Vampire Academy series.



Name one country or region in the world you have never visited that you someday want to visit, serve or spend a vacation?


I would like to visit New Zealand. It is beautiful, full of adventures and hiking and does not have as many things that can kill you as Australia does.


What kid’s movie has completely scarred you for life?


Zathura: A Space Adventure.


What is your favorite movie of all time?


My favorite comedy is probably Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Favorite fantasy movie, the Harry Potter series. Favorite action, the Fast and Furious series or Thor Ragnorok.
