Why you chose your major

I was always curious as a kid, and weather was something that really fascinated me.

Favorite course

Physics 211: This course changed the way I saw everyday occurrences by understanding what actually happens versus what I thought made sense before.

Research or internship experience

This past summer I participated in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. I was at Penn State for 10 weeks and got to work with their faculty and graduate students on a research project.

Other involvement

AMS (American Meteorological Society), SEAS (Students of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences), UCARE Research, Intramurals.

Why you chose Nebraska

I was looking for a large university, and the campus, faculty members, and community seemed like a good fit for me.

Student Ambassadors group

Student Ambassadors are undergraduate students who talk to prospective students, parents, alumni, and the general public about the college.
