Greetings! My name is Lucas Moore, and I am excited to be working with you all her at Upward Bound! I was born into a military family, but when my dad retired, we settled down in Colorado Springs where I graduated from Widefield High School. Here at CMU I am actively working on pursuing a degree in Biology, with emphasis in cellular, molecular, and developmental fields, with plans to attend grad school for genetic counseling after graduation. If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I am a huge geek when it comes to games of any kind, and I’d happily burn hours on end playing long strategy games or RPGs like D&D. With any game though, the friends make it all the better. A fun time and good company? What more could a man want!
Here at Upward Bound I’m passionate about building a sense of wonder for the world into all those I interact with and hope to stir a passion for science and inquiry in my students, as well as reduce the fear around math. Since I was always one of those kids who used to never leave the comfort zone, I also strive to create a sense of open-mindedness, adventure, and fearlessness concerning challenges. If there’s one thing to keep to heart, it’s that it’s okay to fail. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. Perseverance is key, and with enough effort, anything becomes possible.
I’m excited to work with all of you here at Upward Bound and to help you grow into the people you were always meant to be. Stay smiling and have a wonderful day!
