WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY
I am fortunate to live in an area of the United States that embraces the environmental movement and thereby provides incredible momentum and inspiration to live in environmentally sustainable ways. This community influence coupled with a lifelong desire to protect wildlife and natural places encouraged me to seek a graduate degree in Environmental Studies through Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland.
Previously in my career with wildlife, I have had the honor of studying endangered hawksbill sea turtles in the Caribbean, critically endangered monkeys in West Africa
and nearly extinct red wolves in North Carolina, U.S.A. In each of these situations I learned much about the wildlife, but possibly more about the human and environmental threats that have contributed to their alarming decline. Through those experiences, I have gained a valuable understanding that in order to protect wildlife, we must also aid and educate their human neighbors, both near and far. These actions are not mutually exclusive, but instead address the binding ties that have created our beautiful and suffering planet.
I believe that an undergraduate degree in Anthropology, a career in wildlife ecology and a Master's degree in Environmental Studies will be a dynamic combination allowing me to work on the forefront of human and wildlife conflict and well being. Carbon emissions, climate change, ocean acidification, overpopulation, over consumption, and pollution affects everyone, from major emissions contributors to children in developing nations to honey bees and salamanders. My concern for the dangers inflicted on human and wildlife populations lead me into a field where I hope to provide protection for them
