"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."
