I have been passionate about environmental issues since a young age. Growing up in Northern California, I spent much of my childhood outdoors and was often aware of the issues affecting the natural areas that I loved so much. From litter and pollution to water mismanagement, I firmly believe that individuals and companies alike can do more to preserve and protect our natural resources. My care for the environment led me to pursue a degree in environmental engineering at Oregon State University (OSU). My experiences at OSU taught me valuable skills including effective communication, data analysis, and research skills. I am seeking opportunities in which I can apply and expand the skills I have developed thus far in my career.
