Hey there!  My name is Aidan and I'm from Highlands Ranch, Colorado.  I'm a forestry major with a minor in geospatial technologies and I have a really deep interest in indigenous culture and their relationships with the environment.  I love exploring the outdoors, especially by road-tripping, but I also love music, art, reading, and pretty much anything academic.  My dream job would be to hold some position in the Department of the Interior, and to work in some sect of Public Lands.  I'm always willing to be contacted about anything, but I specifically can be useful in the process of adjusting environments both school wise and naturally, as moving from across the country has a lot of environmental shifts both in the dorm and outside. Feel free to reach out!!!
