Here is my Progress

My Project

Here is my Paper and here is my Map

Tell us something about yourself.

1. Interests
I am a biology major at Cornell and have an interest in the animal sciences. I have used ARC GIS in my summer research project, plotting ornate box turtle nests.I am returning this summer to study ornate box turtles, hopefully, with a better understanding of ARC GIS software.
2. Skills
My skills involve creative design. I can turn everyday looking maps into something extraodinary.
3. Personal interests
I am from Blue Grass, Iowa. I enjoy swimming, paintballing, board games, and cooking. I don't travel very much. Someday, I hope I do get to travel more. One place I want to travel to is Africa and see exotic animals.
