About
Hello!
My name is Payton Folse, and I am an aspiring physics and astronomy student at Louisiana State University. I am a highly motivated, hard-working individual, finding my drive to study and excel in STEM due to its daunting challenges. I find physics to be a highly rewarding field as it doesn't come naturally to me, but the accomplishment that coincides with overcoming complex studies fills me with a drive to continue. However, my life extends outside of school, as I am friendly. I love to meet and engage with new people and learn about everyone's unique stories. I aspire to work in a laboratory setting and make the most of my youth via travel. I see this desire through as I continue my physics education at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, in an exchange program.
