Personal Statement:

• I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in the United States.  I moved around the US a lot as a kid and I eventually ended up in El Paso.  I really love El Paso as it provides a unique environment that allows for some very novel research to be done.  I believe that the SEL is doing excellent work in answering real world questions by employing students from many diverse backgrounds.  In short, I love doing what I do in the lab.  Eventually I plan to work for NASA using the knowledge I’ve gained from my time here.
