Additional Experience
Girl Scouts | Cincinnati, OH — Bronze Award (2011)
- To accomplish this award a girl (age 9-12) must complete a minimum of 20 hours of work, along with her troop, on a project to earn the award. The hours can be spent in many ways, but should have a root cause, like preserving history, and must be sustainable. For our award, my troop landscaped around the Ross-Gowdy House Museum in New Richmond, Ohio after spending some time learning and researching the history of the house.
Outdoors Experience — Lifetime
- Camping & Hiking - I have extensive experience setting up camp, preparing outdoor meals, and practicing Leave No Trace principles to preserve natural landscapes. Proficient in navigating trails, identifying hazards, and responding to environmental conditions. Logged extensive miles on diverse terrains, gaining firsthand knowledge of trail systems, weather patterns, and plant identification.
- Spelunking & Cave Exploration - I have gone on several guided tours on caves in both Mammoth Caves National Park and Blue Spring Caverns learning safe caving techniques, geological formations, and the unique ecosystems found within caves.
- Gardening - I have spent 8 years growing plants within my various living situations, whether I was back home, in my dorm room, or in my apartment, I grew some sort of plant. I enjoy learning the best ways to care for plants, their uses, and have a passion for learning more about permaculture and outdoor gardening.
