Wildlife Biology
University of Maine at Machias
I am a student at the University of Maine at Machias working towards my bachelors in Wildlife Biology. As a part of my degree program, I have worked in an array of biological disciplines, but I have special interests in entomology and botany. I was born and raised in Augusta, Maine, and I have not traveled much in my lifetime. I usually spend my summers hiking and swimming around the wild areas of Maine, but I am looking forward to spending this summer in Chicago.
