Nathan LeBaron

Born in 1988 on December 17th, in Las Vegas, Nevada, to the parents of Douglas and Annette LeBaron, I am currently 18 years old and have graduated from Orofino High School in Orofino, Idaho as a Co-valeodictorian. I am a very active person being the member of various clubs and groups throughout high school. I have taken 6 AP classes and several college health credits as well. I owe this opportunity to participate in this internship to my science teacher Mrs. Riley. She is the one that learned about it and then passed the information on to me as well as encouraging me to apply. Thank you Mrs. Riley.
