State: Texas
Age: 19
Bio: A teacher once told me that I should hug trees because without plants, we wouldn't be alive. I took that to heart and have dedicated my time to helping protect our natural environment and keeping it alive and well. I am currently a Wildlife and Fisheries major at Texas A&M University, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life working to protect animals.
I Am A State Park Ambassador Because: I am happiest whenever I am outside, and would love to share that feeling of contentment with others! The only way to understand and appreciate the services that nature provides us is to get outside and experience it for yourself, something I hope to help other people discover.
