How long you've been competing in UIL: UIL since 2nd grade, Calculator since 6th grade

 What's the most challenging/nerve-wracking thing about your event: The most challenging thing about calculator is the 30 minute time limit.  It is hard making enough time to do all the problems I know how to do.

 First thing you'll do when you win: The 1st thing I would do if I won would be give Mrs. Bevel, my coach, a giant hug for all the work she has put into working with me.

 Past honors in the event: 2008  1st Place Team Haskell & District, Individual 2nd District, Regional Qualifier. 2009  1st Place Team Haskell, 2nd Place Team Wylie, 1st Place Team District, Individual 3rd Wylie, 1st District, 3rd Regional

 Extracurricular activities/other UIL events: I am really involved in church and FCS (Fellowship of Christian Students) activities.  I play the tenor sax in our band.  I play 3rd base & pitcher on our Varsity softball team, and I am the sophomore class president.  I am also a member of our Number Sense & Mathematics teams in UIL.

 College plans: I have no idea where I am going to go, but I know that I want to teach high school science & math in a small town.  I guess if I could choose any college it would be Texas A&M.

 Birthplace: I was born in Abilene, but I have lived in Haskell my entire life.

 One thing your parents, a sibling or even a best friend might not know about you: I guess 1 thing people may not know about me is how much I enjoy being a "nerd" in UIL then heading out to the softball field for a game.  It is a hard switch, but I LOVE the challenge!
