I am a recent graduate of Truman State University. I earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology. Currently I am a research intern in the St. Louis Zoo's animal behavior lab. I have been a preceptor at a private academy for chemistry and mythology as well as a tutor for 5th grade music. I am planning on going back to graduate school for my doctorate in ecology and evolution. In my spare time I enjoy playing lots of guitar and ultimate frisbee as well as repairing and riding bicycles.
