My name is Sadie Brooke Storm Murphy, Yes, my middle initials re B.S. I'm adopted but born and raised in Clay County, WV.

My interests include competition, research, science, reading, and writing - and yes, I believe in the Oxford Comma. Some issues I am passionate about are foster care, conservation, and freedom of expression - for all individuals despite gender, race, nationality, beliefs, or sexuality.
