Student

I'm a student at Ohio State University, currently working towards getting a bachelors in environmental science.

I am an environmental science student at The Ohio State University. I am interested in using this degree to be able to explore environmental and outdoor education paths. I am also working to get an environmental education certificate to become more experienced in the field of environmental education. I am the president of Society for Ecological Restoration at OSU, an SENR student ambassador, and a student instructional assistant for the course biology and Identification of woody forest plants which all help gain leadership skills. 

My name is Lexi and I work for Project Learning Tree Ohio within the Forestry division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Environmental education is my passion, I love getting outdoors and helping people connect with nature. Before working with PLT I was a naturalist at Blendon Woods Metro park where I interacted with people every day and helped them with identification and environmental stewardship. I am also a student at the Ohio State University study Natural Resource Management!
