Hello there! This is my first year at Evergreen. I plan on being in the MIT program. Animals and art are my passion. I study herpetology. I have 3 ball pythons, 2 Taiwanese Beauty snakes, 1 Kenyan sand boa, 2 western hognose snakes, 1 albino king snake, 1 one-eyed pine snake, 2 coastal rosy boas, 1 cape gopher, 1 Durango Mt king snake,and a chocolate king snake. I also have a Usumbaro Orange baboon turantula, indian ornamental turantula, Pallidum, tiger rump, King baboon, Fort Worth Bronze, and a Kilamanjaro baboon. I also have a colony of Brazilian and Madagascar hissing cockroaches, they are pets as well as food for the turantulas. I also have a ornate box turtle, a three toed box turtle, 2 reeves turtles, and a red eared slider. I have one cat named Baby.

I want to be a scientific illustrator for feild guide books or text books. I paint in oils, water colors, air brush work, and acrylics. I do stone, clay, and glass sculptures. I also enjoy printmaking, block prints and copper plate etchings. I enjoy the out doors, as long as I am neither too warm or too cold! I want to be the Jane Goodall of reptiles. I am starting to breed some of my snakes to help pay for frozen rodents.
