What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to environmental initiatives and engage with my community.

As a dedicated college student with a strong interest in environmental science and English, I am committed to making a positive impact in my community. My academic journey has been marked by a 4.3 GPA and active participation in various extracurricular activities, including the National Honor Society and the Eco-Wild club.

My volunteer experience at the Mesa Verde Library has honed my organizational skills and ability to work collaboratively with others. Additionally, my role as an editor for my school's online newspaper has allowed me to develop strong communication and leadership skills, fostering a positive environment for my peers. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a professional setting where I can contribute meaningfully.
