Summary
I hope to find a challenging, hands-on position that will give me skills to refine as I continue my career journey. I find it important to connect science to real world issues and decisions, often in-person research is the best way to show this connection. Through my experiences in Stage Craft's and RW I've learned to effectively communicate with others, while being able to maintain safety in busy environments.
