Summary

After working for a small family clothing alteration business for five years straight out of high school, I stumbled upon a growing love of biology in the form of a keen interest in plant and fungi species. Now a full-time college student, I am working towards a degree in biology steadily in order to pursue my dreams of making my knowledge of plants a full-time job.
