About
My name is Maggie Melendez and I am an aspiring conservation scientist. I have a wide variety of passions including but not limited to art, woodsmen sports, camping and animal care. I am currently working on my Bachelor's in science for Environmental conservation and hope to pursue additional education in grad-school.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want my future career to have me become the person running studies in human impacts on the environment. If my future does not conclude down that path, then I would at least need to be able to fully understand the process to better communicate ecological science for lawmakers or the public. I especially require experience working in the field to further these goals. It would be of great importance to be working within the areas of biodiversity and its link to the natural resources of the Americas.
- Graduate school interests
I do have hopes to move on with my college career by gaining a PhD in environmental studies. I would like to conduct research into the inner mechanisms of an environment or a specific plant/ animal species.
