Daniela - All About Me

-
Hi, my name is Daniela Flores! I am sophomore at Wilbur Cross and I have just completed my first year at EVO. I am not much of an out-spoken type of person, but I do like to be involved in many different activities. I play the saxophone and flute, at school I participate in many different different music programs including marching band, concert band, and jazz band. I'm not extremely talented when it comes to music, it's more of a hobby; I also participate in a program called DELTA at Neighborhood music school, and I recently played in the Southern Regional Band (My goal is to make it to state band next year!). I really enjoy listening to jazz, but I listen to just about anything. Another one of interests includes science! I really enjoy learning new concepts and ideas, I volunteer at a program called Girls' Science Investigations where I am able to teach basic science concepts and instruct young girls with mini-experiments, this combines my interest in science and motivation when it comes to teaching.
I have lots of random hobbies too, I like to work on science fair projects at school (fairly simple projects), I spend most of my free time knitting, reading, or watching shows on Netflix. I love spending time with friends and trying out new restaurants and foods.
During the summer, I usually get lots of volunteer work in, last year I was a math tutor and spent lots of hours cleaning up Edgerton park. I am especially looking forward to this summer, I will be working with the CRISP program and I'm not sure what to expect from this experience, but I hope that the time I spend researching and focusing on this project will help me with my work ethic in school. I am considering studying in a STEM field, but I'm still trying to keep my options open to different fields of interest.

We have been learning about the Western Interior Seaway and the formations that the fossils come from. Our project was about the Niobrara Chalk, Pierre Shale, and Fox Hills Formations. We compiled a bunch of data about the geologic makeup of the formations (the lithology), the different species found in each formation (the biodiversity), and we used the data to determite what the environment was like in our discussion/conclusion. We went to the beach on Wednesday to see if we could find any invertebrates. We found a lot of crabs, snails, and a few clams. We found a large, living horseshoe crab as well.

     At this point in time, my internship has been over for about a week and I am planning what I want to include on my poster. I have been brainstorming ideas of possible research questions that could apply to what I did during my internship, but this is proving to be a difficult task because most of the work I did revolved around cataloging outflows rather than actually exploring a question. So far, I have been able to come up with my methods and procedures and some of the basic information that I want to include on my poster about outflows and star formation. I also have results for my research in the sense that I have different types of images of various outflows in the Orion Nebula to showcase on my poster. However, I do not have results that exactly answer any specific research question at this point.      Throughout my internship, I learned things such as what star formation is and what happens during it, how to look for outflows, how to use various...
