Summary

I went to college wanting to work with microorganisms. While attending Texas Woman's University, I found my love for working in the lab. My love for working in a biology lab was strengthened when I got to apply the knowledge I collected in my first years of college to my research with Dr.Maier. The longer I worked in undergrad research, the more things I found I enjoyed. I love reading research journals within the field of fungal endophyte. I love looking at wet mount slides of fungal spores under the microscope. I love presenting my work on fungal endophyte to a wide variety of audiences. I love the new opportunities I got to experience because I do undergrad research. I love the collaborations I got to make with students at Texas Woman's University and Michigan State University.

While at Texas Woman's University, I joined Chi Alpha campus ministries. I thought that when I didn't choose music education as my major, I would have to give up my passion for music. A pastor realized my passion for music included learning new instruments. He let me borrow the ministry's bass to learn how to play a stringed instrument. I was able to take the knowledge I developed playing tuba for 8 years and apply the basics of music to learning bass guitar. The confidence from learning a new instrument encouraged me to try going on a mission trip. While on a mission trip, I found my preferred form of community service is physical labor. This included washing dishes, painting the walls of a church, and using a sledgehammer to demo an old porch.
