About
I am currently an undergrad and SUNY ESF working towards bachelors of science degree. I am majoring in Aquatics and Fisheries science with a special interest in quality and pollution control of our waters as well as the effects of pollution on aquatic ecosystems. I grew up on a farm in a small town in Western New York. Growing up there sparked my interest in working with farmers and land owners to develop Best Managements Practices to help decrease runoff and pollution. I have also always loved water; I would explore streams and rivers as much as I could so I figured why not combine to passions and make it a career.
