Laken Schultz

Driven and resilient, I leveraged my hard labor skills at Koeppel Concrete, enhancing project efficiency by expertly managing concrete applications and demonstrating a keen ability in wildlife conservation with the Wisconsin DNR. Skilled in operating heavy machinery and committed to sustainability, my background merges technical prowess with environmental stewardship. while working construction in order to pay bills, i had focused my 4.5 year college career around classes heavily focused on environmental sciences, wildlife biology, ecology, geology, and environmental systems. I have used design software such as Arc GIS and Stella in both environmental systems and environmental modeling. I am also a co author in a scientific paper published in the journal of Environmental Entomology along with my classmates and professors of my Capstone of environmental science class. I was raised and surrounded with hunting, fishing, and conservation practices on both sides of my family, along with influence from family members in farming and raising animals for sustainability. I am heavily focused and take pride in conservation practices and studies that surround both local wildlife and agricultural fields. My dream career is to be a wildlife biologist or in a position of similar nature. I grew up spending a majority of my time in the woods with my family or helping my grandparents with chores around their small hobby farm, while also being in 4H and showing sheep and rabbits at the Manitowoc County fair. I would like to continue to surround myself with conservation practices in my next career.

My hobbies include hunting and fishing, studying deer and wildlife movement through trail cameras, food sources, bedding areas etc., hiking, and overall spending time outdoors
