I am from Beaverlodge and I am a third year Bachelor of Science student with a Biology major and a minor in Environmental Science.  I hope to pursue graduate studies in Paleontology after I graduate. This is so I can one day work in a museum research laboratory to study the fossils of dinosaurs and other extinct organisms. This will also be my third year on the Vikings Curling team primarily as lead. I hope for the team and myself is that we can once again showcase Augustana's talent at the CCAA Nationals, but I would be happy with a fantastic year of curling. When I am not on the ice you will often find me running along trails and roadways as I prepare for running season. You might also find me playing a friendly bowling game or reading a good book such as Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings'. My favorite movie is John Wayne’s “The Alamo” and my favorite food are tacos. One of my favorite quotes is “Run often. Run long. But never outrun your joy of running.”
