Personal Statement
Hello there! I received my bachelors degree in Communication Management and Design in 2009. I am currently putting my writing and organization skills to use in the field of environmental communication, with the hope of obtaining a dual degree in journalism from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. I just completed my first marathon, I work for Apple Inc. as a Specialist, and I love to read National Geographic so much that I hope to write for them in the future!

Research Interests
I would like to study the impact personal and educational experience has on sources cited and content of environmental journalism. I'm also interested in studying social media networks for environmental campaign management, water resources, and environmental issues in South East Asia.

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.
