- Major: Environmental Science, energy and climate. In progress at Humboldt State University CA.
- I am one of the College of Natural Resources and Sciences Associated Student Representative at Humboldt State University where I also work for the Recycling/Sustainability department. I am a transfer student from Columbia College CA, where I completed my A.A. I took the non-traditional route through college working full-time and taking one, two late classes a semester. I am now a full-time student with plans to graduate with my B.S in spring 2015. I plan on finding a job that will be involved with protecting the environment and working outside as much as possible.
Interests in Appropriate Technology
- Renewable Energy, mainly power generated by waves. http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/technology/hydro/wave-power/
- Composting food waste for cooking and heating fuel. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/11/20/2938021/anaerobic-digesters-food-waste/
- Portable Solar technology. http://cleantechnica.com/2013/11/04/us-marines-test-portable-solar-power-vest/
Other Fun Fact about Me
- Love snowboarding, I taught it for several years but injured my self to much and decided to go to school and get a degree and leave the snowboarding limited seasons. I have a dog that is living with my parents. I have several houseplants and a beta fish. I have chosen to attend Humboldt State because they offered a great environmental science program and it is near the ocean. I regularly travel to the beach where I collect rocks, driftwood, and sea shells to bring back to my family who live in the mountains. I believe in protecting the environment not only for our children but for all life.
