Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hey there! My name is Jo Tomsick, and I'm currently a sophomore at BC, hailing from Cleveland Ohio, otherwise known as the best of the Midwest. My major is Fine Arts, but I'm hoping to also minor in philosophy, and possibly medical humanities as well. Though my studies are concentrated in these three areas, I have a serious passion for astronomy. I love teaching people everything I know about space, constellations, the basics of amateur astronomy and so on, which is why I am ecstatic to be teaching a section in SPLASH that is just about astronomy!
