Summary

As an environmental science major, I have gained extensive hands-on interdisciplinary experience in the fields of ethnobotany and organic horticulture. In my research on the history of the Shoshone Nation, I utilized my deep analytical skills and combined teamwork to dig into the relationship between culture and the environment from multiple perspectives and presented informative research results. Meanwhile, in my internship at the campus garden, I mastered organic gardening techniques and led volunteers in hands-on activities that enhanced community connections and ecological restoration. I possess excellent research and practical skills, and vividly communicate complex information through storytelling, making my work resonate with readers and communities.
