I have always been interested in environmental science. I find great comfort in the outdoors and am always eager to learn more about our planet. My experiences throughout high school and Bergen Community College gave me the foundations to study geosciences at Montclair State University. As a honors Earth and Environmental Science student, I am constantly learning more knowledge about Earth that will be useful in my future career as an environmental scientist. My work experiences with Montclair State University's College of Science and Mathematics have allowed me to explore numerous research topics, present projects, and even start my research project. I am currently investigating the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum using carbon isotopes of black carbon and pollen, which is something I never thought I could do as an undergraduate. These experiences have greatly contributed to my public speaking, communication, analytical skills, and laboratory skills. I look forward to showcasing my skills and learning more about the environment as I progress in my education journey.
