I am a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), studying Environmental Studies and Legal Policy. I grew up in the D.C. Metro Area, and remained within the Mid-Atlantic until the summer of 2018, when I spent 8 weeks on the Colorado Plateau. I am hoping to visit more of the US' natural spaces before eventually beginning a career in conservation.
