About
I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Industrial Hygiene at the University of Central Missouri. Not only am I a full time student, but I also work on campus as a graduate assistant for the Safety, Health and Technology Department and I am a site and event supervisor for the cities Park and Recreational Department. I've had the opportunity to work as an intern for two different companies, as well as work part time with a safety consulting firm that allowed me to gain insight in what I want to do after graduation.

I enjoy working out, whether that is in the form of lifting weights, rock climbing, hiking or simply going on a walk.
