I am currently an intern for a program at UCSB called Kids In Nature (KIN). We go on science related field trips to local spots with underrepresented and at-risk 5th graders from the Santa Barbara area. Last week we spent time at the REEF (Research Experience and Educational Facility) at the Marine Science Institute. So far I have really been enjoying my time with the kids.
In addition, I am serving as a UCSB Sustainability Ambassador. Throughout the year we are being educated on public speaking, sustainability, and the steps UCSB is taking to become a leader in sustainable development. I am going to be giving a 40 minute lecture for the other Kids In Nature interns about sustainability on Tuesday. Wish me luck!
I have also been chosen by the Kids In Nature coordinators to give a 5 minute presentation in March to UCSB's Academic Senate regarding the KIN program. This is a pretty big honor and I am stoked that they chose me.
Just some updates on my life right now...
