Speak to your reasoning for wanting to work in the arborist area of the scientific field. Elaborate about why you have chosen this career path over others.

Lindsay Williams Ortega

"My first job in high school was working in landscaping. I really enjoyed the work that I did and I learned so much about different plants and trees. In college, I knew I wanted to major in something scientific so I decided on environmental science. I ended up working for a company that did testing on air quality in different areas. I was always very amazed at how well air quality was in areas that had a specific type of tree or plant growing. This interest carried on and I eventually knew that I wanted to work purely with plants and trees."
