I am a highschool Senior from Poulsbo, Washington. I currently attend North Kitsap Senior High School (Go Vikings!). If I had to pick four words to describe myself, I would choose "harder, better, faster, stronger" (referencing Daft Punk, not Kanye West). I always try to make my life follow those words. If I can make that extra little push, I always will. This has helped me in school, in running, and in my social and artistic life. I always try and connect the things that I am doing. If I learn something new in statistics, I will try and find a physics situation to practice it. If I'm investigating leverage and mechanics in Engineering, I'll try and apply that to my running. My life is not a bunch of disconnected and separate parts. Everything I do applies to something else and works with all of my other disciplines of study. Consuquently, there will be some overlap in the pages below. I'll do my best to talk about the engineering aspects on the engineering page, but I may get carried away talking about the artistic applications of the project. I apologize in advance. I do quite a bit of writing, but I don't have any one particular page devoted to it. You can see most of my stories and poems at the bottom of the sidebar on the right. Enjoy!
