I work alongside biologists with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission performing research on particular species. I spend most of the time working with a Non-native species Biologist researching and tracking invasive or nonnative species in the Tampa area. I study Environmental Science and Policy as well as Public Health at University of South Florida. My goal is to work for a government agency such as Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to research or manage wildlife and the laws and regulations that protect it.

Listed skills include Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel, Gps Tracking, Gps, and 2 others.
