Summary

I am currently majoring in Biology-Ecology with a special interest in Botany. In my work as an environmental educator I am regarded as a dedicated and hands-on aspiring Botany Assistant with real-world experience collecting and preserving plant specimens. In my current role as a STEAM Leader, I create lessons that blend science, nature, and art to help students connect with the environment. I’m excited to bring my curiosity, organizational skills, and growing plant knowledge to a team focused on botanical research or digital plant documentation.
