My next step! I will be a Summer Naturalist Instructor at the UW Arboretum this summer. I am excited to continue doing environmental education work.

● Working as an Environmental Justice Intern to help advance community oriented projects, such as the Little Brook Environmental Empowerment Project and a community-led Little Brook Park redesign process
● Supported writing grant applications, three of which have received funding
● Practiced valuable public speaking, presentation, and PowerPoint creation skills at virtual grant application
presentations and community meetings

• Served families at King County Housing Authority and Imagine Housing sites through the YMCA to increase food access by connecting families with federal nutrition programs and local food resources

• Coordinated with local community partners, including school districts and nonprofits, to improve food security at the community level by increase participation in available pandemic aid resources, such as P-EBT

• Collaborated with Food Access Team Members to gather data regarding meal quality and access to resources through Microsoft surveys

● Volunteered 8 hours a week during the pandemic to support a seed-to-table environmental education organization
● Supported after school and summer camp activities with 6-14 year olds, including leading educational activities about
pollinators, planting and harvesting produce, soil health, chicken care, and cooking
● Researched, created, and implemented the redesign of an eroding slope that is now a terraced hill with native plants

Handed out breakfasts and lunches at Little Brook Park and North Acres Park.
