Hello, everyone! My name is Baylor Boyd. I was born and grew up in Enid, Oklahoma. I am majoring in Classics: Latin and plan on graduating in the the fall of 2020. I am somewhat unsure of exactly what I want to do immediately after leaving OU. Classics provides me a plethora of different career options, but one of my possible plans includes continuing school in order to earn a masters degree, and perhaps even a doctorate. Eventually, though, I wish to teach, whether it be Latin, history, and/or English at the high school level or Classics as a college professor. When I'm not translating Latin prose and poetry, I spend a good chunk of my time working for the University of Oklahoma Softball Team. My official title is Student Manager but I spend the majority of my time catching the pitching staff in the bullpen. Over the past 3 years, I have worked with and befriended some of the best coaches and players in the game of softball, including a few current professional and Olympic athletes. Working for the team has also given me the opportunity to travel all over, to places such as California, Oregon, and Mexico, with trips planned for this upcoming year to Florida and Utah. But my favorite place to go with the team is Oklahoma City, home to the Women's College World Series. In 2107, I was fortunate enough to be a part of the team that won the National Championship.
There I am, back row, third from the right.

In the rare event that I have some free time, I typically spend it reading or spending time with friends. I also enjoy watching documentaries, specifically about history. To share a fun fact, I consider myself an amateur vexillologist. For some reason, I have always found flags particularly interesting. That's about it. I think that about covers my brief introduction. If you got this far, thanks for reading.
