How did Warner College prepare you for your career?
Warner gave me both the technical and interpersonal tools to help me succeed in my career. Warner also prepared me for the interdisciplinary nature of natural resources. I know how to apply my skills in geology in research involving all Warner disciplines. In my current role I use skills learned directly in my classes in the geology department for investigating sedimentary geology, aquifers, groundwater movement, and water quality. I also use the DEI skills I learned daily to communicate professionally with my constituents.
What advice would you give to current Warner College students?
My advice would be to take all the fieldwork and research opportunities you can get your hands on, even if the topic doesn't seem immediately interesting or in your field. You never know what you might end up loving and what connections you can make.
