About
I will graduate from OSU Spring 2015 with a B.S in Environmental Science: Soil Specialization, and a Minor in Agronomy.

I hope to become a very knowledgeable and reliable soil scientist, and work with private, or governmental organizations to improve our crops by organic means, and in turn help the environment around the farms for a sustainable future, both our food security and erosion.
