Sustainability-focused apprentice and research assistant blending organic farming, critical inquiry, and people-first service.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Bucknell University student studying Spanish & Environmental studies, currently building a foundation through coursework in educational psychology, philosophy, and environmental problem solving, plus a semester abroad in Spain.
In my Organic Farming & Sustainability Apprenticeship, I helped with organic crop cultivation and natural pest control methods, while learning soil health management, composting, and crop rotation to improve farm productivity and sustainability. I also supported sustainable initiatives and developed farm-management skills like logistics and planning.
Alongside sustainability, I’ve worked as a Research Assistant Intern on the influence of Neoclassicism on Latin American political, cultural, and social structures, strengthening my research, critical thinking, and writing. I’ve also brought teamwork and high standards to fast-paced roles like Crew Member and Barista—following food safety protocols, delivering customer service, and handling cash accurately.
