Current Major:  Computer Science and Biochemistry

About Me:

     This is my third year at NCSU.  I began as a Computer Science major, but I once I realized that I could finish it in three years (with difficulty) I decided I might as well do something more.  So I'm giving Chemical Engineering -- Biosciences Concentration a chance.  Unfortunately, that means I have little-to-no free time.

     I am a very hardworking person.  When I put my name on something, it means that I have gone over it with a fine-tooth comb, checking and rechecking until I am satisfied with the end result.  I may procrastinate a bit, but I also do my best work when under pressure.

     I am a very energetic person.  I fidget, I love running around, I whistle a lot, and I benefit from working out regularly.  I am an outdoors person—I love playing in the woods.  Activities I take pleasure in are reading, sleeping, riding bikes, video games, playing at playgrounds, sleeping, and drawing/painting.  I also enjoy working with kids, as you will see from my work experience.

     One unique fact about myself is that—along with the other participants on a particular Fall Break trip—I jumped off of the seventy-foot high traffic bridge in New River Gorge.  So now, when my mother asks me, “Would you jump off a bridge just because everyone else does?” I can truthfully answer, “Yes.”
