Alumni Reunion Weekend

We found our future @ Sierra Nevada University

I love learning about history and teaching history to others. I work with a non-profit that restores military vehicles in order to take them to events to teach history. I want to learn how to drive a tank. Another thing I love to do is dress up in my ball gown and be a part of living history at The Great Dicken's Christmas Fair.
