Welcome!

Hi everyone! I’m Cassie, and I’m a fourth- year studying STEM Education with a specialization in Life Science. After graduation, I’m hoping to be a high school biology teacher here in Columbus! While this isn’t my first botany course, I’m excited to learn more specifically about the plants that inhabit Ohio and be able  to identify trees and flowers.

My Coat of Arms is in the shape of a plant simply because I love plants, and this is a plants course! I chose a smiley face for my symbol and “choose joy” for my motto because both encapsulate my personality! Though I grew up in Springfield, OH, I call Columbus, OH my home because I’ve built a strong community here. Lastly as I’ve already mentioned, my major is STEM Education with licensure in Life Science!
