What are your future plans and goals?
I am fascinated by the soft sciences, such as biological sciences, botany, anthropology, and ecology. I have deep and seemingly competing interests in the study of the arts, including not only drawing and sculpture, but animation and graphic design. Through my coursework to date, I am fascinated by how art contributes to science. My interest in art, graphic design, and animation would be used in order to illuminate scientific discoveries and to aid in scientific education. The opportunity to explore the intersections of art and science through medical textbook illustrations, various scientific sculptures/models, and animation is where my academic and career ambitions lie. In pursuit of my educational goals, I have narrowed down my college search to Gonzaga University. There, I will double major in art and biology in order to pursue scientific illustration or field biology. Through my research in these programs, I will be able to use my newfound skills to create detailed illustrations and diagrams of subjects from the softer sciences.

What is your favorite 4-H memory, experience, or lesson?
Out of all the years I have spent in 4-H, it is impossible to choose one memory that defines my experience. When I look back, I think of all the happy tears I had cried after beating an old PR or the moments shared with my club and family. I think of when it seemed like I was sprinting everywhere like a mad man but still never seemed to leave the horse barn. All of the moments I got to spend with my projects will go unmatched in their own very special way. Through 4-H I have truly been able to build myself into a person I can be proud of. Because of that, I am forever grateful to my club, my community, my country and my world.
What are your future plans and goals?
I will attend WSU to complete my undergraduate degree. After completion I plan on joining the U.S. Airforce and attending medical school.
