Aggressively unemployed

About Me

I recently graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology. I am looking for employment working in conservation or some related field. I come from accounting, but decided to switch to ecology because I believe it to be more important, despite the lower paycheck. Eager to learn.
