Additional Information
I am in the process of getting my Certificate in Herbalism, and would love to work to both gain experience in sustainability and to fund my future education. I've always enjoyed being outdoors, and felt a deep connection to the Earth and everything it supports. I'd be honored to dedicate my life to maintaining and saving this planet. I have a huge passion for animals and anything I can do to help them - small or big - is something I'd love to participate in. My hobbies are gardening, upcycling, and painting in my personal time, and I absolutely love going out to see live music with my friends. I'd like to move into Environmental Studies in the fall, and most likely stay in the New York area for this next year or two as I expand my career and the connections that come with that.
