The Biodiversity Project

This project has been an amazing aid to Betsy Riley, both personally and professionally. From a professional standpoint, she's gained valuable work experience in the areas of surveying, interview work, report writing, and, soon, presenting my findings. The work that Betsy has done is firmly in the area of environmental communications and outreach, and she's made some great contacts in the area of work that she want to go into. On a personal level, this internship has given her concrete experience in an area that she's been interested in, but have no practical experience in. After her summer working with farmers, Betsy feel extremely confident that the area she's choosing to study matches up with the field she want to work in.
