How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
This major has allowed me to connect with local environmental organizations and find a passion I didn't know I had before coming to Gonzaga. The ability to do undergraduate research also helped me to decide what I want my career path to be as I move on post Gonzaga.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?
One of my proudest moments has been designing an experiment that I was able to execute with a team of other students over the summer that I can now write a paper on.
