What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to contribute to environmental research and conservation efforts, fostering a culture of sustainability and innovation.

As a dedicated environmental studies graduate from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, I have cultivated a strong foundation in biodiversity and conservation practices. My academic journey has been enriched by hands-on research experiences, particularly in amphibian species and rare plant populations in the Southern Appalachian region. I am passionate about contributing to environmental sustainability and conservation efforts.

In my role as a researcher at UNC Asheville, I have engaged in various projects that involved fieldwork and laboratory analysis, including DNA extraction and data analysis. My experience extends beyond academia, as I have also worked in customer service roles, where I developed strong communication skills and the ability to convey complex information effectively. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in a professional setting that values environmental stewardship and innovation.
