Summary
I am very passionate about conservation and restoration work. I have three years of experience working outdoors with herbicides and conducting professional research for managing invasive plants. I have participated in five prescribed burns over the last couple of years, and I am interested in learning more about fire and how it is used to manage habitat for wildlife.
