'''Open to writing Fossils and Forestry for 2023-2024 season, based in PA for supervising/proctoring.''' 

Graduated '20 after competing in Ohio for 6 years and running CSE for 3 years, now running the [[Pitt Invitational]] for the last 4 years! When I supervise, I try to post histos and an ES review if there is a forum page. Otherwise, I update the scilympiad introduction with the histograms after awards. Message me on Discord axolotlot if you have any specific questions!
