What do you love about Purdue Space Day?
I like having the opportunity to spread the love of space and STEM to young kids. Hopefully impacting them to spread the love even more!!

Favorite Class/Professor?
My favorite class has been EAPS 395; Astrobiology! It was an amazing insight to how the planetary science community is researching exactly how life on Earth came to be and what else in the universe could have life or even be habitable!

What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?
I am not 100% sure, but I hope to have a career I enjoy that will allow me to forever grow my knowledge and interest in space and the universe.

What do you think your favorite memory of Purdue will be?
One of my favorite memories will have to be all the sporting events! Going to games with amazing friends and having a great time! Especially when Purdue Football beat Ohio St. and we all rushed the field!!!

Hidden Talent?
I can play a mean “Hot Cross Buns” on the recorder.
