Summary

My name is Victoria Stromberg, I have a B.A in Environmental Studies with a minor in biological anthropology from Rhode Island College. I have always had a passion for sustainability practices and preserving the natural environment around me, and I am looking to work with people in a work environment who feel the same way about these practices as I do. I have always had a passion for conservation and sustainability and I uphold those values in my day-to-day life. I had the honor of working as a park ranger supervisor at Colt State Park, and working in animal husbandry at Mystic Aquarium. Each of these experiences were so rewarding in that I would not only get to work with the natural environment, but also teach people how to practice conservation and help protect our ocean planet and the animals that inhabit it.

I am open to anything that reflects my passion. I am a hard worker, as well as a self-starter, which translates to me following through with things until they are perfect. If given the chance to prove myself, I would not falter.
