Other Fun Fact about Me
- Love snowboarding, I taught it for several years but injured my self to much and decided to go to school and get a degree and leave the snowboarding limited seasons. I have a dog that is living with my parents. I have several houseplants and a beta fish. I choose to go to Humboldt State because they offered a great environmental science program and it is near the ocean. I believe in protecting the environment not only for our children but for all life.
