Phineas Lerner

I am currently a high school student at Poudre High School. I am a very curious person, and thus love learning new things. At the moment I am very passionate about astrophysics, however I also love art and making music. I value living in the moment, and enjoying life to its fullest. I have extensive experience traveling and experiencing new cultures. I have always done very well in school.

I have little experience in payed jobs. However I have an extensive history of volunteering, and am a very enthusiastic worker.
