A little more about me

After a certain age how do you talk about yourself without it sounding like a personal ad? Here goes. I’m 23 and in my 5th year at Northern Arizona University as an environmental science major (communication emphasis). I didn’t start my college career in the sciences. I thought I wanted to be in advertising or elementary art education. I quickly learned that the advertising world makes me throw up a little in my mouth and I am intimidated by kids younger than 11. It wasn’t till my junior year that I found this area of study. I’ve had so much fun learning about the subject of environmental science I didn’t think too far past graduation. I don’t know what I want to do with the degree, perhaps a job for a few years and then back to school to earn a Masters.
In regards to my personal interests, I love the outdoors. I enjoy photographing, or sketching landscapes or participating in outdoor sports. Essentially, I am content just sitting in my back yard soaking it all in. I also have two dogs, which I love and a best friend, Rachel, who I can always count on for some fun. Corona “Cory” is an 8-year-old mutt who loves to track squirrels and Mei is a 2-year-old pug who can hike better than you so step off. I was born in a small white house in downtown Phoenix, Arizona but I have lived in Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Michigan. Somehow I found my way back to Arizona but I don’t plan on calling it home for too much longer. My future goals, besides getting that “job,” I hope will involve traveling outside the United States and locating a new state to call home for a while.
