A member of the class of 2015, I am currently majoring in Public Policy with an interest in Environmental Policy and a minor in Wildlife Conservation.

Outside of academia I am involved with the UD Chapter of the national organization, Canine Companions for Independence, or CCI. I am currently raising and training a puppy for CCI to become a disability services assistance and companion animal. Throughout the year I work for the Office of Undergraduate Admission as a Blue Hen Ambassador to prospective students and families. I have also continued to pursue my love of figure skating and hope to continue training throughout my time at UD and after college as a professional or amature performer.

I love working with animals and have previously worked at the New England Aquarium in Boston, MA as a visitor education volunteer, and at the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) as a bird rehabilitation intern. Upon graduation, I hope to continue to travel and work hands on with animals and in the field of public policy, education and advocation for the environment and the conservation of the natural world.
