Physical Geology:
The study of the Earth, its structure, materials, physical processes and evolution. Specific areas examined included geologic time, rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, soil formation, hydrology, weathering, glaciation and processes affecting coastal and arid regions. This course included a lab. Taught by Michael J. Hozik

Ecological Principles:
The study of ecology, the structure and function of ecosystems, population dynamics, natural selection, energy flow and nutrient cycling. This course used spatial data to explore ecological systems. It included a lab focusing on ecological observations, sampling techniques, data analysis and modeling. Taught by Catherine Tredick.

Physical Geography: 
The study of the atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. Specific areas included: input of solar energy, global weather, storms, climatic change, formation of soils, water cycle, other chemical cycles. The course used conceptual modeling and the use of spatial data to explore earth systems. The course included a lab focusing on fieldwork, map analysis, computer applications (GIS), quantitative techniques. Taught by Weihong Fan.

Wildlife Management:
This course had a focus on studying the issues wildlife managers have in meeting the demands and expectations of society while maintaining ecological integrity. It focused on threatened and endangered species, humans' actions, values and attitudes affecting wildlife, wildlife management techniques, and implications for management decisions. Taught by Catherine Tredick.

Environmental Issues:
This course studied the environmental issues on the local, national and global levels. These levels were analyzed from the ecological, ethical and economic viewpoints. It focus on biodiversity, toxic and hazardous waste, land-use decisions and economic development. It included a lab concentrating on presenting environmental issues using written, oral and analytic skills. Projects were designed and presented using a variety of platforms (ex: GIS). Taught by Tait Chirenje.

Northwest and Southwest Field Experience:
A prep course with focuses on water, energy and natural resource management in the US Northwest/Southwest. Concentrates on impacts of human development on natural resources. Prep for a 3 week course/internship in the summer of 2014. 
The trip is yet to be completed. Taught by Tait Chirenje.

My professional resume does not include environmental jobs as of yet. My focus for the past few years has been exclusively on education. As of now, I am branching my focus onto professional environmental jobs as I finish my college education.
