Personal Statement
Growing up hunting and fishing with my dad, I developed a deep appreciation for the natural world. In an effort to save and conserve our environment I chose to pursue a graduate education in environmental engineering. At ESF, I'm working with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to compost non-marketable paper products that otherwise enter landfills, such as wax-corrugated cardboard. My thesis is not yet finalized, but I'm interested in the biological, both microbial and mycological, mechanisms of paper degradation in composting systems.

Graduate Research Topic
Composting Non-Marketable Wastepaper Products
