Natural Resources<\/a>, specialization in Human Dimensions<\/a>
Ecampus Junior
Hometown: Sayreville, New Jersey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get interested in this particular field?<\/em> 
I wasn\u2019t really sure what major I wanted after reading through a few I discovered Natural Resources. It seemed like a good balance between science, management, and a broad (but interesting) field of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What brought you to OSU?<\/em>
Finding a degree plan that I could complete was very important to me as I am currently in the military. I stumbled on OSU once I discovered which major I wanted.  OSU was rated very highly in regards to their online Forestry program and so it seemed like the natural choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the best experience you\u2019ve had as a student?<\/em>
The best experience I\u2019ve had as a student is being able to meet people outside of the military who are also interested in the things I am interested in. It has been refreshing to get to know people from all different backgrounds and walks if life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to school, how do you spend your time?<\/em>
I work full time as an enlisted member of the United States Air Force, but when I\u2019m not doing that I like to spend time watching Netflix with my husband and cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your goal for your education?  A particular dream job?<\/em>
I never want to stop learning. Even when my university career is finished I intend to always find ways to keep my education going. As for my dream job, I haven\u2019t exactly figured that out yet, but I look forward to doing something that leaves me with the feeling that I have positively contributed to humanity in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there something you wish Faculty and staff knew about you or your fellow students?<\/em>
I hope the faculty and staff know how grateful a lot of us are for their help. I know as an Ecampus student sometimes trying to work around work and a different time zone is difficult, but there have always been people at OSU willing to help me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
