Summary

Dedicated Environmental Science graduate with a passion for sustainable solutions and a robust background in both academic and practical settings. I earned my bachelor's degree from Northern Michigan University in 2023, where I honed my skills through diverse experiences in laboratories, fieldwork, and research. Notably, I contributed to impactful projects during internships, including a stint at Argonne National Lab under the DOE's Student Internship Program (SULI) and my role with the Great Lakes Climate Corps.

My ambition extends to pursuing a master's degree in soil science, biological sciences, forestry, or environmental science, followed by a doctorate. I thrive on continuous learning, engaging with podcasts, and devouring books to stay abreast of the latest developments in my field.

In addition to my academic prowess, I bring hands-on expertise in various domains. Proficient in R, Excel, and data handling, I leverage technical skills cultivated through rigorous coursework and research. My versatility extends to practical tasks such as chainsaw operation, hand tool use, and general construction knowledge.

Adept at conveying complex information, I excel in both written and oral communication. I've demonstrated my abilities in teamwork, showcasing a strong work ethic, passion, and an amiable nature that facilitates seamless collaboration. Capable of self-delegation, I embrace challenges with enthusiasm and a commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.

Let's connect and explore opportunities to contribute my diverse skill set to innovative projects and initiatives in the environmental science realm.
