What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to contribute to conservation efforts and engage in meaningful environmental education.

As a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Earth and Environmental Sciences, I have cultivated a strong foundation in ecological restoration and wildlife rehabilitation. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, achieving Cum Laude honors and being recognized on the Chancellor’s list. I am driven by a passion for preserving our natural environment and have gained hands-on experience through various roles in conservation and wildlife care.

In my professional experience, I have worked as a Data Entry Assistant, where I honed my organizational skills and attention to detail. My role as a Wildlife Rehabilitator allowed me to engage directly with native species, contributing to their recovery and educating the public about wildlife care. Currently, I serve as a Conservation Crew Member, where I lead ecological restoration projects, collaborating with federal and state agencies to enhance habitats and promote biodiversity.
