I recently graduated State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota with my associate of arts in general education. In August, I will start at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg studying environmental studies and working towards my bachelor's degree. I have passion for protecting our natural resources, especially marine environments and animals. I enjoy sharing this passion with others through environmental education and photography. I believe environmental education helps people establish a strong bond with nature and strengthens future environmental protection.
