Future plans:
In the near future, I'm headed off to sunny Camp Gallagher to spend the summer encouraging kids to embrace adventure and find a love for the outdoors. Beyond that, I'm planning to earn my Master's in Organizational Leadership and find a career that combines my passions for environmentalism and leadership.
How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
I chose Environmental Studies as a freshman because of my love for the outdoors and the urgent responsibility I feel to revive and protect our planet. Throughout my four years, I encountered many courses that strengthened my passion for the environment and motivate me to make a positive change.

Despite the interruption of a global pandemic, I formed lasting relationships, gained indispensable knowledge, and am genuinely proud of the person I have become.
