Summary
Graduate with a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, December 20th, 2025. I am a dual major recipient, focusing on a Wildlife Management degree and a Spanish language degree. My professional goal is to increase the knowledge and appreciation of natural habitats worldwide, as well as the species that occupy them. As a student, I developed, proposed and revised research projects for independent execution with minimal supervision. As a worker I am detail oriented and motivated team-player eager to contribute to and complete any project or task given.
