​​​I am a senior studying Fisheries and Wildlife with minors in GIS, LGBTQ+ studies, and public policy. This summer I've been working as a field technician with the state endangered Massasauga Rattlesnake. This is going to be my third and final year as a student associate and I'm excited to learn and grow with everyone who joins us. Along with snakes, I also really like music, community gardening, and listening to podcasts

​Hello there! I’m entering my last year at MSU studying Crop & Soil Science and Spanish. I could not be more excited to be one of the Student Associates this year - it’s one of my favorite parts of college! This summer I studied abroad in Santander, Spain for two months where I finished my minor, explored a new country and improved my Spanish a lot. For fun, I love dancing, gardening, and all things crafting.

​I am entering my fourth year of environmental engineering at MSU this fall. I've been missing One Community and ULC since this past spring semester I was studying abroad in Quito, Ecuador, but I'm so excited to jump back in come September and continue to grow as a student associate and in my faith alongside some of my favorite people! This past summer I was a part of a research team in Montpellier, France, working to advance water treatment technologies to make water more affordable and accessible. When I make time for myself, I love to read, hike, go to concerts, and cook!

I am a sophomore majoring in Zoology with a focus in Animal Behavior and Neurobiology in the pre-veterinary program! This summer I’ve been working as an Animal Keeper at a zoo for farm animals in the northern suburbs of Chicago. This is my first year as a Student Associate and I am very excited to work with the team and make this year a great one for One Community. In my free time, I love hanging out with my dog, Rae, cooking and crafting, and doing all things related to being outside.

​I am a senior studying fisheries and wildlife with a concentration in fish biology and management. This past summer I worked with NJ Fish and Wildlife service to help conduct surveys to determine trout populations within the state. This will be my first year as a student associate. I am very excited to see where this journey takes me and One Community. In my free time I enjoy fishing, watching sports and listening to music.
