As an Eastern Shore native, I’ve always wanted to give back to the environment in a lasting and meaningful way. Chesapeake’s new curriculum exposed me to the ways in which ecological design can contribute to Bay revitalization. Now pursuing College Park’s Landscape Architecture B.L.A., I hope to lead in Bay shoreline restoration to benefit both our community and wildlife.
