Where I am now:
I am currently continuing to work towards my Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science with a concentration in Environment and Society as well as being employed on campus at UTRGV as a social media Cooordinator. Being a part of EFAS and working with my mentor Gisel allowed me to learn a lot about my options as far as future work and research on local ecosystems. I really look forward to putting the knowledge to use in my future career.
