\nI chose biology, more specifically environmental science, because of my fascination with life, nature, and the outdoors.<\/p>\n
\nLike many students, I gained a wealth of knowledge of how the world works. But more importantly to me, I have been lucky to develop many great relationships with students and faculty. Without the help and support from the Biology Department faculty during some very difficult times, I would not be here today.<\/p>\n
\nI plan on working for one of several land development companies in the Rochester area as an environmental scientist. The position will require various types of habitat assessments and river surveys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
