Summary

I believe my deep passion and empathy for the Earth makes me a good fit for the Macoskey Center. I want nothing more but to help heal this planet and I know the Macoskey Center is doing a wonderful job at doing just that in its little corner of the globe. I am a strong advocate for human rights and have done extensive research on systemic racism, environmental issues, and the dirty history of colonization in our country. I find Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Access to be extremely important for the future of a sustainable human-race. Whether environmental education, facilities management, or trails and habitat management is my focus, I know I would learn a lot from a practicum at the Macoskey Center and would appreciate every learning experience given to me.
