My name is Keontré  (key-on-tray) and I am a second year dual phd student in physics and quantitative biology with a concentration in molecular biophysics. Big words aside, I was initially a physics major at Colgate university in Hamilton, New York. Before that I lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana and I was raised even before that in Huntsville, Alabama. My dad played football for the Spartans in the early 90s under George Perles, and stories from my childhood are what stoked both my love for athletics (I ran track d1 and played baseball at Colgate) and my love for MSU! I also have 6 siblings (Tim 32, Kayla, 30, Emery 28, Octavius 14, Lucia  13, and September 12) To keep up to date with WaMPS updates, you can follow @msuwamps on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or visit our website https://www.wamps.org.
