"I enjoy nature and would love to learn more about it. I hope to travel to get fieldwork done with wildlife and the environment to arm myself with the tools necessary to understand sustainability and the unique challenges environments and animals face. To do this I hope to travel to specific environments such as Brazil for its rainforest, Africa for its savannah or Hawaii for its reefs."
