My vision
Connect, Create, Inspire. I envision Central New York as a place where people can connect to create their dreams which will inspire others to do the same. Attending ESF and SU has helped me further connect with the place in which I was raised and has fostered my goals of increasing environmental and leadership education here in CNY. Upon graduation I will continue working to engage this community in outdoor education and recreation.

Grad Professional Experience
As part of my MPS degree I created and implemented a leadership training program for girls going into 8th and 9th grade. I will use this experience and curriculum to grow as an outdoor educator and advocate in Syracuse, NY and its surrounding communities.

Personal Statement
My research interests lie at the cross section of ecological and human dimensions, particularly the complex social, political, and economic factors that play into watershed protection and the role of community participation in ecological restoration and environmental policy. I am interested in participatory planning efforts as a potential method of ecological/watershed restoration and community development. My thesis research about Onondaga Lake investigates local lake restoration programs to determine if people's participation and inclusion in restoration initiatives is related to their sense of place, including behavioral, social, cognitive and affective connections to the lake.
