Hey guys! My name is Aubree Rader and I am from the small town of Bangor, PA, which is near the Poconos. I am enrolled in the College of Communications as a freshman print/digital journalism major and I am planning on double majoring in political science as well. I became a part of staff for my middle school newspaper and I have not looked back since. I have spent many hours in my high school newsroom as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper working to meet the print date and that is where I realized my love for journalism. The time I spent on the school newspaper has allowed me to build strong relationships with people who have the same interests as me as well as create work that I am proud to call my own. I cannot wait to see where the future takes me as I pursue my passion.

Since I have always excelled at english and history, I have never enjoyed math or science nor have they been my strong subjects. My academic advisor recommended this course to me since it is not a traditional science course, but rather caters to the students who struggle to understand math and science. While words come easy to me, numbers do not but I am excited to discuss the topics on the syllabus and see what new direction science will take us.
