About

My name is Carly Hoeft and I started my college career at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. I took some exploratory classes there to find out more about what I wanted to do/study. After a couple semesters there, I duel enrolled and took some classes at Western Michigan University and found a passion for studying our earth. Some of the classes I have taken at Western are World Ecology Problems and Geography and since then I have decided on a major of geology with a concentration in hydro-geology/environmental geology. I found this major at Central Michigan University however and I am planning on attending there this spring semester!
