Hi everyone! I am in my last semester of the Forestry Conservation Master’s program. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Florida State University in 2021. I just got married in December! When we aren’t working or traveling, I love to exercise around the National Mall, binge-watch Game of Thrones or Gilmore Girls (yes, very different categories), and put together lego sets. When we are back home in Florida, I love to participate in various water sports, off-shore fishing, and help with construction projects my parents and in-laws have. Sadly, my house was affected greatly by Hurricane Ian as we lived on Fort Myers Beach so we have been trying to help as much as we can. 

I have always had a passion for the environment and trying to make a difference. I would say my superpower is multitasking and the ability to stay calm during hectic situations. With these two traits, my dream is to work with an environmental/conservation-based NGO or a Federal Agency/organization to make a difference toward sustainability. I have such a large passion for limiting plastic pollution.
