Katie Siedel

Hello!

My name is Katie Siedel, and I was born and raised in Strongsville, Ohio. I am passionate about the environment and fascinated by the processes and functions of the natural world. I'm 24 years old and a recent graduate (Spring 13) from Humboldt State University with a BS in Environmental Science (Ecological Restoration) and a minor in Hydrology Management.

I have lived in Ohio, Hawaii, California, and Washington. I love to travel, backpack, hike, jog, and take photos.

I worked a field job (June - Sept 13) with the USFS as a botanist conducting rare plant surveys at Colville National Forest in WA. I have lots of volunteer community experience with many local non-profit and government organizations in Humboldt County from planting trees to invasive removal.

This blog you have come across will be about my 2.5 years time spent as a Forestry Extension Agent in Zambia, Africa in the Peace Corps. My program is LIFE (Linking Income with Food and the Environment)

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
