Summary
A graduate of Concordia University Texas in December 2015, I originally dedicated my studies to environmental science and conservation. After college my interests branches into business and service industry, and I have worked in high intensity jobs where customer service and speed were prioritized. Most recently, I worked in the state park system assisting patrons with admissions and directions through the park. This position allowed me to combine my love of service with my interests in conservation and native wildlife.
