PROFILE
Passionate, engaged student serving as a representative and steward of the environment.
Seeking a double major in Environmental and Sustainability Studies and Parks, Recreation, and
Tourism with an emphasis in Outdoor Recreation Studies. I aspire to be an outdoor,
environmental educator so I can share and instill a passion in others to explore, and work to
protect the places that we not only adventure in, but also places that are crucial to the
sustainability of life.
