Throughout my college career, I have gone many different directions, from Pre-Physical Therapy to Business and finally made it to Environmental Science. Since a little girl, I have always been fascinated by what makes up nature and finding ways to help the environment which fostered me towards Environmental Science. I have always had compassion and an interest in ecology and learning how why things are the way they are. Hence, I have been passionate how to protect our world today. Therefore, once I found the Environmental and Sustainability Studies program at Tennessee Technological University, I knew that I was in the right place. At the beginning of my college journey, I was lost on what I wanted to do for my career and my grades began to decline dramatically. After finding the Environmental Studies program my drive for school increased extremely and my grades skyrocketed. I knew I was in the right place. During my time at TTU, I have taken many …show more content…

Firstly, being a member and the Social Media Chair of the Tennessee Tech’s Sustainable Campus Committee has gotten me involved by helping make environmental improvements that benefit the campus as a whole.

    Growing up in a lower-middle class home, I have learned to be modest and frugal. I have also learned that nothing comes free and that everything must be earned through determination and hard work. So when I joined the Cub Scouts at age 7, I was determined to excel and achieve the highest rank in scouting, Eagle Scout. Since then, I have been intent on changing things for the better in everything I participated in. Ergo, having a lifetime goal to give back to the Earth, whether it be directly by studying chemistry to help the Earth or indirectly by donating some of my time and money back into the science field to help fund future developments of technology, seems best for the world.

He strongly encouraged that I take GIS classes and suggested that I should go into civil engineering rather than environmental as it would offer me more of an opportunity to display my creativity. If it had not been for Miss Mindy and her efforts, I would probably be less focused on what career path to take and I would have been less motivated to pursue my
