I would love to work at an environmental policy NGO, as I enjoy working as a part of a team on these issues. I love the outdoors, and was lucky enough to work at a conservation group up in Maine over the summer. This summer, I hope to land an internship at some of the research positions and policy organizations I am interested in!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_79\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-79\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Scenery from Maine\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-1240x930.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/advancedenvironmentalresearchandtransformativesustainabilityexchange\/files\/2023\/02\/tempImage14QkFA-508x381.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A great view from my job!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I would consider a few places home. I come from rural northern Connecticut, where I&#8217;ve lived for most of my life at my parents houses. This I would consider my first home, its where my closest family lives and\u00a0is where I return to from college on break. I share my home with my parents and my younger sister, and my dad has two dogs. Coming from rural Connecticut, I am surrounded by a lot of woods, farms, and the next truly urban area is an hour or so drive. In my small town, there aren\u2019t large sustainability initiatives in place because we don\u2019t have a considerably large footprint and that scale is not needed. However, I do wish my area had a stronger sustainability culture with public transportation and green energy programs!<\/p>\n<p>I also call my college home. I have always been fairly independent, and coming to Dickinson has been exactly what I&#8217;ve wanted in a lot of ways. I enjoy having my room to come back home to after classes and planning my schedule with going to the gym, etc. Here there is certainly a culture of sustainability, beyond being a carbon-neutral institution it is definitely on the minds of students throughout the day, which is so great to be apart of. Being an environmental studies major, I really enjoy the depth of these classes and the amount of faculty we have working on sustainable projects. I look forward to hearing more about what life is like at AUS, and your interests, lives and where you call home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
