Career Goals:
I seek to obtain an internship, travel award, or scholarship/fellowship geared towards the enhancement of eventual graduate school matriculation, particularly into a Ph.D. research-based environmental or nuclear and radiological engineering program. I highly anticipate the opportunity to either (1) analyze the release, control, and safe utilization of nuclear energy and atomic and nuclear radiation for human benefit, or (2) enhance the productivity of agricultural and biological systems while protecting the environment and conserving and replenishing our natural resources.
