My career goals are divided into two catagories, long-term and short-term. After I graduate in the spring, I plan to go back to school to get my Masters degree, either in Extension or Education. My long term career gaols are to be employed in a teaching profession, possibly High School Social Studies, and to recieve a PHD.

Employment History
-Currently, I am a tutor for The Office of Disability Services for The Ohio State University. Last summer, I completed an intership in Cleveland at The Cleveland Botanical garden, studying Horticulture Therapy. This experience involved me in many different projects, including running therapy sessions at The Cleveland Clinic, leading groups of senior citizens and at-risk-youth in urban gardening programs, and teaching classes about Horticulture at local grade schools. During seven other summers, I was a camp counselor at 4-H Camp Ohio, in Utica Ohio. During the summer of 1994, I was the High Ropes Specialist for the camp. This was a staff position in which I would lead groups of eight to fifteen youth or adults through an obsticle course suspended 30-40 feet in the air. There was a very-real risk of danger involved, and I had to be a good communicator and supervisor at all times.

The Ohio State University
BS in Agriculture, expected graduation date: Spring 1998
Columbus, Ohio
Currently, I am finishing my sixth year of school studying Horticulture at The Ohio State University. Some of the Horticulture calsses I have taken concern Plant Identification, Nursery Management, and Landscape Design. I especially enjoyed a class on the history of Horticulture. This helped me to see our roots and understand better where we are heading. My minor at Ohio State is Education. This better prepares me to go into the field of Extension or pursue my Socual Studies Education degree.

OSUMB
For four years, I was a member of The Ohio State University Marching Band. This was a fantastic experience for many reasons. This was a major comitment, consuming approximatly 30 hours a week. It was due to thiscommitment that I was forced to make time for my studies and learn to budget my time to maximum effect.
