I am an Environmental Science major and Chinese language minor from Central New Jersey. During my time at Dickinson, I served as a watershed coordinator at the Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring, Peer Sustainability Educator at the Center for Sustainability Education, and as many roles on the Environmental Studies Department Majors Committee.

​

My role as a watershed coordinator and Peer Sustainability Educator were instrumental in discovering a passion for community-based science, science communication, and education. My work with these organizations gave me new perspectives on how to communicate environmental science topics to varying audiences. Working as a Peer Sustainability Educator, I learned how to target sustainability advocacy and general environmental education to a Dickinson College community. At ALLARM, I learned how to advocate for general sustainability with a focus on water health and community building to a diverse audience: young, old, working, and retired. In addition, in summer 2019, I worked as a Nature Camp Counselor where I created lesson plans to teach children about the environment and sustainability. This past summer 2020, I worked as a green infrastructure/ forest restoration intern at a local nature preserve, where I maintained rain gardens, green roofs, and assisted with targeted forest restoration projects.

​

I hope to find a career path that allows me to make positive environmental change within a community and promote understanding through science communication and education.
