What do you plan to accomplish during your service term with GEM?
I plan to grow as both an individual and a professional and assist in locating and safely closing as many abandoned mines as possible.
Do you plan to continue your education? If so, what programs or school are you looking into and what is the highest degree you plan to earn?
Yes, I plan on continuing my education to get a master's in either biology, environmental science, or geology.
Have you had any other internship or service opportunities before this? If so, how do you believe internships have benefited you so far?
I had the pleasure of working with multiple professors who are active in their fields, and they have passed on to me their knowledge of fauna, flora, and rock composition which I know will greatly assist me in my duties.
