What’s your dream job? A comedian.
What is the best project you’ve ever worked on or really admire in STEM? I think the GRACE project is really cool.
How do you use STEM in your life? I study it and explain how things work with that knowledge.
Who is someone (teacher, mentor, role model) in STEM you look up to and why? Clair Cameron Patterson.
What excites you about STEM? Being really confused and then understanding an idea.
What are you looking forward to in the STEM CONNECT program? I am excited to meet all sorts of new people who I would not have met otherwise. Also I want to know what the most advanced mathematics focuses on. I know what the classes I have taken deal with, but I have less understanding of what graduate students or professors are working with.
