Being
inspired to pursue a life in science by a high school
teacher ten years ago has led me along a very interesting
path. Starting in college I picked Physics as the degree
I wanted, but finding the mathematics involved in physics
research a little too tricky I re-thought my life's
plan. Currently I am a student in the Geology department
at the University of North Dakota with a minor in Space
Studies. I work with the public at Dakota Science Center,
a hands-on museum that believes science is for everyone.
Over the past three years I developed on-line materials
for Dakota Skies, a module on astronomy found on www.natureshift.org
which was through a five-year DOE TIGG grant. I like
astronomy and own a number of telescopes and belong
to numerous societies dedicated to promoting space and
astronomy events.
