I am passionate about environmental education and encouraging people to practice sustainability in their everyday life. I believe education is an important tool to drive lasting and impactful behaviors in individuals, and it should be accessible to all. My studies have strengthened my beliefs about the importance of conservation and preserving biodiversity for the health of the planet. In the past I have interned and been a lead intern for a local nature center. Here I learned and experienced how environmental education can change mindsets of yougner generations. Through school, research projects, and my internship I have gained communication skills and hands-on experience. I am excited to continue growing my knowledge and apply it in future roles that aim to make our future environment better and cleaner.
