i have a b.s in natural resources and environmental sciences from university of illinois at urbana champaign (i-l-l!).

my concentration is in resource conservation and restoration ecology and my areas of interest within my field are environmental + ag justice, food systems, and wetland management.

i also have an passion for applying my degree to the context of healthcare and medicine. some may call this climate health or bring in the concept of “one health”, but i call it practical (i don’t really call it that, or else it would just get wordy…but i do think it is practical).

though i am in no hurry, i am interested in medical school, nursing school, or some form of healthcare professional school in the near future. for now, however, i am interested in working in healthcare and research spaces. i am also using this time to slow things down and take the time to recover, heal, and nurture (in that order).
