Hartwick junior earns EPA fellowship
The local Oneonta Newspaper, the Daily Star posted a shortened version of the story of my fellowship today. This is very exciting! I will have to pick up a copy of the paper today so I can cut out the story and keep it. Again, I am very excited and grateful for this opportunity to work with the EPA!
My summer job in sustainable community agriculture sparked my interest in the environment. Working with people and the environment is what I love. Someday I hope to work to educate the public about sustainability or environmental policies. Inspired by a discussion I had with an alum during a networking reception, this blog is my way of reaching out to people now to learn effective ways to communicate the importance of taking care of ourselves by taking care of the world around us.

Hartwick-Hartwick Student Receives Prestigious EPA Fellowship
Hartwick-Hartwick Student Receives Prestigious EPA Fellowship
The above link will bring you to the page on the Hartwick website that contains a news piece about me. The news piece discusses the EPA GRO Fellowship I have been awarded, what it entails, and accomplishments I have so far. The Fellowship is awarded to a maximum of 40 college juniors nationwide each year, provides support for academics and research and requires the student to perform research for their junior and senior year and to complete a summer fellowship with an EPA facility.
My research will be based around the geochemistry of a small creek that is part of the Susquehanna River Shed. My advisor, Dr. Zsuzsanna Balogh-Brunstad informed me yesterday that the U.S. Geological Survey has not done any studies in this creek so my research will be all original research! I am very excited and grateful for this amazing opportunity!
