Getting here:
Growing up in urban environments all my life, the first few weeks at COA were a huge culture shock for me. After hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail with my OOPs group, I learned just how beautiful nature can be. Out there, on MDI, you make friends fast with the friendliest community I’ve ever met.
I still haven’t been able to get over the silence all throughout winter though…

My approach to human ecology:
To tell the truth, I still don’t entirely understand Human Ecology.
It’s to say; just when you thought you knew something for sure, think again because there is always more to learn.
For me, Human Ecology is what we experience from the day to day.
We are all human ecologists, we just don’t all know it yet.
Life on Mount Desert Island:
Life on MDI offers me a break from the constant business of city-living. My favorite part of living on MDI is the late nights after classes going out with friends. There is always something to do, whether it be swimming under the stars or telling stories on a friend’s couch. Life on MDI is what you make out of it.
