Introduction My education at Rutgers University has provided me with the opportunity to perform hands-on work as part of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS). Our professors underscored the value of experience-based education; which included aspects of soil sampling and profiling, determining the quality of water sources by biotic indexing, and simple surveys of forests on campus to determine population dynamics of local vegetation. My experience at SEBS has also included more traditional professional laboratory work under sterile conditions, that included PCR and gel electrophoresis for DNA samples. ㅡ

Lab Skills

miscellaneous software like Google Earth Pro.

Urban Ecology

A course dedicated to the application of ecology and natural resource management to urban habitats or green spaces. There was an emphasis on human interactions with urban green spaces.

Soil Ecology

This class was dedicated to learning how soil structure and consistency contributes to the overall flow of nutrients/water through microhabitats as well as the biodiversity found in specific segments of soil.
