Environmental Science- Conservation and Restoration Ecology
University of Washington-Bothell
I have always been fascinated with the natural world. This passion, which includes spending as much time in the outdoors as I can, hiking and fly fishing, led me to pursue a degree in environmental science. I am very interested in conservation and restoration ecology. My introduction to geographic information science (GIS) has opened exciting new pathways for studying and understanding conservation and environmental issues using spatial data.
