Summary
Hello I am in my second year of study at Fleming College, in the conservation biology program. I started this program with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement for environmental preservation, as well as a dedication to conserving land and water resources. I am also passionate about addressing the issues of endangered species, such as turtles, and I am eager to apply my academic understanding to real-world conservation efforts. I am a proactive learner who is always looking for new possibilities to expand my knowledge of biodiversity and ecosystem management. I am prepared to offer new ideas and work with like-minded environmentalists.
