Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

I am currently a college freshman at Embry-Riddle University in Daytona, studying meteorology. I plan to get my bachelor's degree and see where that takes me. I have quite a few interests in the field, from working in broadcasting to becoming a hurricane hunter. My opportunities are endless!
As for myself, I would say that I am always up for an adventure. I love doing thrilling things, and that is why I am pursuing this degree, to find a career that will make me excited to go to work the next day! I love rollercoasters, carnivals, and driving on the highway. I want to take up surfing, since living in Daytona Beach would be the perfect opportunity to do so. I am unique, being a LGBTQ+ woman pursuing a STEM degree, but I love a good challenge and being different from others. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me.
