My motivation

My brother, Jeff, has encouraged me to pursue goals even if I think they're unattainable. When I think I'm not good enough, I think of how he views life: he reaches for the best opportunities out there. Life pushes you in a lot of different directions and I do my best to move with the flow. 

My latest accomplishments

This past summer, I was given my first opportunity to delve into academic research. I spent ten weeks with a team of brilliant undergraduate students at the University of Connecticut Health Center studying computational biology. Scratching our heads over the inner-mechanics of the cell was exhilarating. The research process was difficult but I enjoyed each step in the process.

Currently, I serve as the president of the Algebrainiacs, the local math club at Adrian College. It has been an honor speaking of fascinating maths at weekly meetings, and I’ve been encouraging members to attend the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Georgia. After writing a local grant, we were approved for full funding for the mathematics conference. Through the process, I inspired our membership to investigate current research in mathematics. I hope that when we go, our members will open their minds to concepts like graph theory, financial theory, and complex probabilistic systems. Inspiring others and working together to learn is the environment in which I flourish.

Next big goal

I hope to attend graduate school to study mathematics, applied mathematics, or even computer science. There's always so much to learn and I hope to learn a little more through my studies.
