Today was my last day of classes for the semester. That's crazy. I just have to make it through three exams and then I am done until January!

This semester was very busy, but I had some awesome opportunities.

I got to present my summer research at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium. This was my first ever professional poster presentation.


I have also been interning with The Nature Conservancy, working under Dr. Sheila Reddy, Senior Scientist for Sustainability, on a project focusing on living shorelines. 

These are two amazing opportunities that I am glad to have had extended to me. I am excited to finish exams and head to NYC to visit my best friend before the holidays.

And I can't wait to see what my next (and final!) semester holds for me!
