About
Hello there! My name is Claire Bingaman and I'm an undergraduate sophomore studying environmental science with a concentration in geography and planning at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. For my junior and senior years of high school (Fall 2019-Spring 2021), I attended Zoo Academy at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. I spend a lot of my free time with my family and attending church groups. I hope to get involved in conservation and/or environmental analysis fieldwork through an internship and/or entry level-job. My long-term career goal is to reach a executive/leadership position to coordinate and create conservation and/or environmental cleaning efforts.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want to go into conservation and data collection fieldwork, at least initially, and gain experience being at the forefront of environmental discovery. I'm definitely open to expanding this to include office work involving data analysis and GIS mapping systems. Eventually, I want to become part of the management of conservation and/or environmental cleaning efforts.
