Hi everyone! I’m raising funds to help support an upcoming trip to Costa Rica. This is an opportunity that closely connects to my studies and future career goals. As an environmental science major, I’m passionate about conservation, biodiversity, and sustainable land management. Costa Rica is a global leader in environmental protection, and this trip will allow me to see these efforts firsthand while experiencing some of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, which includes the Quetzal shown in the photo.

This experience will give me valuable hands-on learning outside the classroom and help prepare me for a future working in environmental research, conservation, or with public agencies like national parks or wildlife services. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this page, truly means a lot and helps make this opportunity possible. Thank you for being part of this journey!
