I'm Tyler. I am an Earth Science major in my last semester at CSUF. It's been an incredibly long journey for me in my education and I'm excited to finally be graduating. It's a pleasure to meet all of you and I look forward to getting to know you over the next few months.

Gratuitous cheesy photo looking off into the distance below:

I chose this major because I'm fascinated by how our planet works and how it functions in the universe. We sometimes forget that we are hurling through space around a giant ball of fire at thousands of miles per hour in a vast and seemingly endless vacuum full of cataclysmic events and yet, somehow, we exist on our perfect little planet. It's amazing and scary at the same time!

I have been working in education at a middle school for almost a decade now and it's something I would like to make a career out of as a teacher, which is why i'm taking this class! My true passion is working with kids; nothing makes me happier. My job takes me on great adventures with amazing young students. I work as a supervisor and I also chaperone all kinds of fields trips as well as working in after school science programs. I want to teach younger audiences about our world and and how it works!

Below is a photo of my group and I from the school's band trip to Chicago:

I want to better understand how children develop through adolescence so that I can be a more effective teacher. Especially at the middle school age when they are experiencing all kinds of changes both mentally and physically. It is important that students have mentors surrounding them who understand what they are going through.

This is probably my main hobby but it's also my second job. I primarily do weddings and all kinds of stuff for the school I work at including the yearly theater play, band trip, and renaissance fair. It's such a joy to combine two of my passions in one setting.
