I’m a senior and this is my third year on The Leaf staff. I enjoy writing articles about sports and about feature stories.  I enjoy being active and snowboarding. One of my favorite things to do is go snowboarding. I snowboard in Breckenridge, CO and in Snowshoe, WV, two of my favorite places for the sport. Nothing is better than being out on the side of a mountain all day.  My dream is to work in international business.  I love going to Ohio State football games. I think they are the greatest college team in the country. My plan is to go to college there.  I also enjoy spending time with my family. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram.
