Bio

Forward-thinking professional offering more than 6 years of experience working in fast-paced technology environments. Adaptive learning and knowledge seeker in the subject fields of conservation and wildlife biology. I offer a long-standing background in various natural sciences such as forestry, livestock management, wildlife research, and more. My mission is to pursue a bachelor's degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences. I believe my degree offers me the opportunity to be a voice for the environment and wildlife. The environment cannot speak in terms of English but my knowledge offers me the ability to interpret and decode the communication of the environment through rigorous studies and research. Without an understanding of our ever-changing environment, sustainability and impact on our future become unclear. It is my duty to ensure that some level of sustainability and understanding can be met.

    Lo Easton's “Wrong Answers Only” Scholarship
    1. Absolutely not, why would I of all people deserve a scholarship? It's not like I can't go to the bank and ask for a loan that would gain 8-14% interest. Who doesn't want a ton of student loan debt? I know I do. 2. I have no academic goals. If I graduate that alone would be a miracle. As for career goals, if I do somehow manage to obtain a degree I have no desire to get a career in that same field. Why would I spend 4 years getting a degree and actually using it? 3. As a young person with rheumatoid arthritis, I have simply decided to not overcome any obstacles. Rather, I make the obstacle much larger than it should be making it near impossible for even a nondisabled person to overcome.
