Obtaining a strong communications background through my undergraduate studies imbued me with a unique skill set, which can synthesize an idea and see it all the way through to implementation. This skill set also allows me to effectively and efficiently execute mission targets between diverse stakeholders. I have worked successfully at many levels of management, and achieving the visions of my superiors. I know how to guide a team efficiently and effectively towards an administrative mission. Given my work within the realms of green roofing, stormwater mitigation, sustainable development, and outdoor education; I believe I bring a holistic and interdisciplinary toolbox to the table. By continuing my work academically and professionally, I hope to instill a new form of water and conservation ethic within the Great Lakes Region, educate local communities, and change the lives of people through the opportunities that nature provides.
