From dropping nitrogen-frozen pumpkins off our physics building for our annual Pumpkin Drop to hosting regular SPS chapter meetings, I have a deep admiration for SPS. I am so lucky to have the privilege of being a member of Rhodes College’s SPS and the zone 10 Associate Zone Councilor, but I am also involved in the All-Engineering Club. Recently, we sent a high-altitude balloon into space, and we are currently (2025) building an indestructible Go-Pro box for the Memphis Zoo!

This summer, I was selected to participate in St. Jude’s POE Program. I am excited to do research work in pediatric radiation oncology with hopes of pursuing medical physics as a career. Not only do I love physics, but I also play flute, crochet, read, and do puzzles in my free time. I am looking forward to continuing my involvement in SPS and spreading the physics joy!
