I am 15 years old and in 10th grade.
I am a member of the Leopidopterists' Society, the North American Butterfly
Association - NABA, the Ohio Lepidopterists, the Arizona Lepidopterists, and the
Kentucky Lepidopterists.  I spend my spring and summer days collecting, studying,
photographying, and rearing lepidoptera.  My photographs have been in gallery
shows.  I spend a lot of time writing for  
www.wikipedia.com , the Wiki Project
Lepidoptera for all to read and see; just go to wikipedia and enter "north american
butterflies" to see my articles, lists, and photos.  I also spend my spare time working
on the
Hearts of Giving Ministry I created with my mom.
Favorite Activity: studying butterflies & moths
Favorite School Time Activity: Reading and Latin
What I Want to be when I Grow Up: An Entomologist with a specialty in Lepidoptera
Other Things I Like to Do:    I also love to explore outside; write in my nature journal; read, study, write
about butterflies; and taking nature photos.  I love taking Karate, too.  I also enjoy working on the
computer to update Wikipedia and emailing my girl friends in South Korea, swimming, needlepointing,
knitting, crocheting, and being with my friends.  I love spending my spare time working on our
Hearts of
Giving Ministry as well as volunteering at Matthew 25 Ministries and our local food pantry.
