About me:
I received degree in Biology, my emphasis within the field is ecology and evolutionary biology studies. I am from Watford City, ND and moved to Grand Forks a couple years ago to finish my degree. I enjoy camping,fishing,bug hunting, listening to live music and hanging out with friends.
My experience with the McNair Program has been very beneficial for preparing me for graduate school. It offers great opportunities for undergraduate research and keeps me on track with the graduation process
