Summary

As a soldier in the United States Army with a passion for sustainability, I believe in using my position of influence to educate soldiers to practice environmentally friendly behaviors, so that we can have a more sustainable Army. With over six years of experience in the lab and in the field, I am sufficiently knowledgeable in the area of environmental management, specifically water sustainability. I strongly believe that education is the first step to solving environmental crisis, so that everyone understands what they can do to contribute to solutions, especially for environmental issues that have a direct effect on their community.
