Research Intern, Summer 2024
About
I am currently an undergraduate student studying general biological sciences at UIC. My
passion lies in studying and participating in ecological and conservational field work. Growing up
my family would go camping every year, in turn, feeding my enjoyment of ever changing natural
systems and how species interact. My current focuses of study are entomology and mycology. I
am interested in conducting field work and increasing my understanding of complicated natural
systems. This internship is giving me an opportunity to study ecological work while also
maintaining community and cultural inclusion.
