I am an environmental science student at Longwood University, pursuing a BS degree with a minor in physics. As part of my education, I have gained valuable hands-on experience in data analysis, proposal writing, and research. I have worked as a tobacco agronomy intern at Altria, where I assisted in the creation and implementation of fungal spore traps to monitor the air for diseases affecting tobacco crops. I have also collaborated with a faculty member to create a project proposal for a residential photovoltaic system, using onsite data of solar exposure time and angle. I am a hard-working and driven person by nature, who values teamwork and quality. I have grown up working on a farm and learned the importance of a job done well from an early age. I work well as part of a team but am also capable on my own. I am eager to learn new skills and apply them to real-world problems and make a difference with my knowledge and skill set.
