Wow, it's hard to believe I'm already a senior in college. My final year has come and I hit the ground running. In the first month of senior year, I've already had an exam, quizzes, group projects and more. I'm also interning with a nonprofit this semester called AniMall, which is a nonprofit retail store with a mission to save the lives of homeless animals.

I got a dog this year as well. It's been a long road and he's not perfect, but thanks to some help from the local German Shepherd Rescue, we've been able to make a lot of great changes.



I've also been involved in Roots and Shoots again this semester, which makes this my second year as Vice President. We recently got to go out with the Turtle Dogs - a couple Boykin Spaniels who find turtles to assist in research efforts. 

The turtle dogs found five turtles in 2 hours. On average, one
person will spend 4 hours and find only one!
I also plan to present a research poster at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium using the side project I worked on over the summer.

Needless to say, senior year will be just as busy as ever, but it will be worth it. Stay tuned for more updates! :)
