In My Own Words

My love for science started since I was in elementary school. All the topics from science just open a great interest in me. Animals, plants, and the environment were all I wanted to learn. When people asked me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I would always respond that I wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I learned more about science, I realized that my passion was to become a marine biologist. Science is really important to me because I have realized the impact humans have on the environment and I would like to be a person that improves the environments that animals live in so that future generations will be able to enjoy the beauty of nature.
