Internship:

For my internship, I worked at Acadia National Park with the wildlife team. I mostly worked on the long-term bat monitoring project but also had a chance to help with peregrine falcon monitoring, beaver surveys, and a small mammal study. Working at ANP was one of the most fulfilling and exciting experiences in my academic career! 

Life on Mount Desert Island:

I love discovering all the hidden gems of MDI and Acadia. These forgotten or lesser known about places are especially nice during the busy season! 

Activities, traditions, celebrations:

I love the Bar Islands Swim! I have participated in and finished the swim all 3 years that I have been at COA! 

Passions & motivations:

I am passionate about climate change and how it is impacting animals both terrestrial and marine

Adventures yet to come:

I hope to be a part of the change makers in my generation, I want to fight climate change and preserve endangered species. 

Best meal on campus:

Fall flavors pasta and anything that includes garlic bread is always a hit with me!

COA might be the right college for you if...

You are excited to get down and dirty and experience a truly place-based education. 

Ephemera:

The little bench behind Seafox is my favorite place to enjoy a cup of coffee or get some homework done.
