Personal
Hello,
On this page, you can explore what I enjoy doing during my free time outside of teaching as well as my personal interests.
Please let me know if you enjoy these things too!
Background
I am a native Coloradan from Centennial who loves science, sports, and learning/teaching. I would describe myself as an extroverted, well-rounded, adventure-seeking individual who is driven to get better in all facets of my life. I have 2 pets: a dog (Luna, age 3) and a cat (PocketSand, age 1).
Thanks for learning more about me!

What I like to do
Outside of Teaching:
Hiking / Exploring new places
Check out Mt. Falcon Park if you want a closeby hike!
Trying new things
Recently I tried rock climbing and loved it!
Learning new information
Did you know that birds can see into the ultraviolet?
Playing/Watching any sport
I grew up going to the Colorado Rapids games every weekend.
Fieldwork Experiences
During my undergrad, I had multiple opportunities to do fieldwork in Biology. Though some time was spent in the lab (dissecting and preserving species for our museum and future research), the rest was spent out in the field catching organisms.
Below are some of the species/types I worked with.
