Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area
Hello! I am a senior Pre-Professional Zoology major and Environmental Studies minor. I grew up in the suburb of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where I learned the value of community, political involvement, and public schools. My major career interests are in environmental education and working with animals; I particularly enjoy learning about birds and the great apes. This summer I lived in Delaware and worked at the Columbus Zoo summer camps. I enjoy backpacking and led a Spring Break Wilderness Trek last year to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area in Tennessee. I’ve also backpacked in New Hampshire, Utah, Ohio and Florida. I enjoy cooking, reading, and traveling; my favorite trip so far has been to the Ecuadorian Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands with the Island Biology class.
Any of those great experiences could form the basis for the project in the class. john k.
