This past year my passion for the outdoors and nature has led me to start my fishing journey. Along with my friends, I have been going on countless trips to freshwater streams all across Ohio. Shown in the picture is a smallmouth bass out of the Little Miami River. Being outside and in nature has always been very important to me my whole life. I think it’s very important to be connected with our Earth and I love bringing people outside with me. My passion for nature has definitely driven me into a science field academically and I can’t wait for this summer so I can go fish even more.
