Bio/Interests: I am an environmental studies student with the intention in joining a graduate program in 2024 for Ecology or a field related to environmental management ,with emphasis on habitat conservation or restoration. I currently work with horses and I prefer to work outdoors, but I am also am artist, and my work background leans toward that narrative; with most of my experiences relating to promoting arts and humanities or leading teams for general labor. I am hoping to be able to learn from and be of use to someone who can see the value of joining multidisciplinary backgrounds to the developing conversation on community and ecology.
