About Me
I'm a person, first of all. I'm a geologist. I'm a very creative scientist and I also like to know how the Earth evolved to be the way it is now.

My Typical Day
I wake up. I put clothes on. I eat breakfast. Then most days are spent in front of the computer. Then I play video games, eat dinner with my boyfriend, watch a movie, go to bed.

What I'd do with the prize money
I would probably get equipment to start a YouTube video in which I would invite scientists to talk about their diverse research projects.
