Summary

With experience from diverse professional experiences, I bring an adaptable skill set that is compatible with different environments. From working busy customer service roles to tackling team projects, I've obtained a strong fondation in communication and leadership. At Augustana College, my academic career encompasses geology, environmental studies, and gender studies—a unique combination that sharpens my analytical approach to complex challenges. This interdisciplinary foundation drives my interest and commitment to exploring the connections between environmental and societal systems. Which in turn has encouraged me to continue to further my understanding as it is crucial in addressing current social and environmental concerns.
