I do the content writing and research for ARRC. As an environmental science student, I am very excited to be reading, writing and learning more about what is happening in the field, and sharing that with ARRC’s audience! So far, working with ARRC has taught me a lot about the importance of people and connections for protecting our environment, and I am looking forward to further combining my environmental science background with this.

I’m a marketing and media student who is passionate about how social media can support relationships, communities and growth. I was super excited to bring what I know about digital marketing into a field that I feel strongly about. Although I’m not (yet) an expert when it comes to the technical aspects of rivers or the environment, I love that I get to educate and make an impact on myself, and hopefully others, with the work that I do
