University of Nevada-Reno
Physics Today Science Writing Intern
American Institute of Physics
Hello all! My name is Sonja Boettcher and I am a graduating senior with a B.S. in Physics and a minor in Mathematics from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). I have served as the local admiral and treasurer for UNR's chapter of SPS. After graduating I will be pursuing a Master's degree in physics, and eventually a PhD.
During my time as an undergraduate student, I have mainly worked in tutoring other college students in STEM and writing. Tutoring has inspired me to help other people enjoy physics and science as much as I do. My own passion for learning, coupled with my drive to share physics with others, has led me to be interested in scientific writing. I am excited to be this year's Physics Today editorial intern!
