I wouldn’t be on the track I am — on the career path I’m on — if I hadn’t gotten involved in undergraduate research.

Everything that I studied came together in a perfect funnel — that’s exactly what college should do. It’s a real, true liberal arts experience.

The learning I experienced at UNE, and cultivated through my Gender Studies minor, has given me the knowledge, the base, and the tools I need to do all of this, and to continue to do these things in my professional and personal life.

The minor shaped me personally because it taught me to look at everyday experiences through a different filter.

Working towards my WGST minor changed my original career path, as the courses were both empowering and inspiring, allowing me to see my full potential.

The Women's and Gender Studies minor helped me professionally and personally develop a voice and have confidence in my voice.

Having a minor in Women's Studies and focusing on women in the environment helped me to foster my own relationship with the natural world.
