I'm an International Environmental Policy Student here at MIIS, this is my second year and I'm very excited to be working with the Digital Learning Commons. My strengths are in Geographical Information Systems and Geographic Positioning Systems. I have worked in the United States in conservation and in Asia in English Education. This year I am also working at the Our Green Thumb Community Garden on Campus. Please stop by anytime to help us garden or just enjoy the sun!
