To Whom It May Concern:
Â
Last spring I graduated from William & Mary, magna cum laude, with degrees in English and Oceanography. My career goal is to be a science writer, combining my strong writing skills with a lifelong interest in science. Since age five my family and I have spent all of our summers on Cape Cod, where I first fell in love with the ocean. Examining the tidal flats as a Junior Ranger matured into measuring dune erosion for the Center for Coastal studies. As an intern in their Marine Geology department, I assisted with data organization and experimental design; I also created graphs of sandbar data and organizing spreadsheets of microbiological organisms. In addition to my research responsibilities, the department also asked me to write briefs for local authorities on CCS’s current projects, particularly those focused on coastal erosion and climate change. I communicated their research clearly and quickly, in time for each town council meeting of the summer.
Recently I was a Constituent Outreach & Communications intern with my state  delegate Mark Sickles (D-Fairfax), and worked directly with his chief of staff. In addition to drafting responses to the numerous letters and emails Del. Sickles received from his constituents, I was in charge of writing daily Facebook posts, creating graphics on Canva, and researching topics to include in our newsletter. We created a detailed social media calendar where I keep track of which posts were for which days of the week and kept each graphic well-organized in a shared Google Drive. As an intern I continuously created informational posts that highlighted a variety of topics, such as early voting, local Black-owned businesses, and nearby parks & nature areas. This internship was a wonderful experience, for I was able to combine my love for creative design with my passion for solving issues in my community. At William & Mary I helped found a women’s cultural organization called Shevet, serving as its first secretary and subsequently its second president. My responsibilities included creating meeting schedules, taking notes, organizing group members via social media, posting on our official Twitter & Facebook pages about events, and forging connections with other organizations, both on campus and in the Williamsburg community. I greatly enjoy organizing and campaigning, as I was in charge of recruiting new members for both of these groups.
As for academics, William & Mary’s Dean of Students granted me permission to design an interdisciplinary, climate-focused oceanography major. Combining environmental, climate, marine, and physical science courses, I created an ideal program to pair with my English major. My friends have said that I am not so much a STEM student as a STEAM one (science, technology, English, arts, and math); indeed it has seemed as though I have created a bridge between these two cultures. This past spring I was featured by W&M’s Cohen Career Center, which highlights how exceptional students have honed their career competencies throughout their time at William & Mary. My “Seas & Sonnets” posts on their social media platforms were a great success, for they allowed me to put into words the advantages of being a writer with a strong science background. I had already realized the combination of these two interests when, during my year at Oxford, I took an environmental geography tutorial and studied how science is viewed by the public. Even though my tutor had a sociology background, she encouraged me to include real-world research & policy examples as evidence into my essays each week. Although I had not considered myself a social science person, analyzing how non-scientists view discoveries and implement their findings gave me valuable perspective, one that will no doubt help in identifying newsworthy papers from scientific journals.
Most of my marine science courses had required science writing exercises, such as comparing plain language summaries of recent research or communicating my own learning in creative ways. For example, this past spring I created a pecha-kucha style video explaining the formation and circulation of global ocean currents, and I also have made numerous Prezi and PowerPoint presentations for my smaller seminar courses (see attached links). My interest in multimedia led me to join The Flat Hat, W&M’s student-run newspaper. While working on their digital media staff, I organized interviews and assisted with video editing, a favorite hobby of mine. In recent years I have created numerous mini-movies and video montages, including a promotional video for Arey's Pond Sailing School. Most recently, I created my own website to sell my newly published poetry books ( www.onethirtythree-poetry.com ) as well as a corresponding Instagram account. Upon the launch of my first book I designed my own social media marketing campaign, which resulted in the book’s first shipment being sold out in two weeks.
Lastly, I have extensive experience with both creative and analytical writing. While studying abroad at Oxford I wrote twelve essays during each of the three 8-week terms of the school year. Although a majority of these concerned Shakespearean plays and other pieces of literature, they nonetheless required me to quickly analyze complex material and synthesize an argument before presenting the essays to each tutor. I am also an avid poet and have been published in three separate literary magazines. Poetry allows me to take time out of my daily life to process events and express feelings from which I derive a sense of connectivity to both myself and the natural world. To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, “nature is symbolic of natural facts.” Writing has the unique ability to move & inspire others, and comprehending both our lives and our world is the foundational step to solving modern problems.
As stated above I am eager put both my knowledge of climate change and my communication skills to work. I will be available to start work immediately but would prefer to do so remotely until the coronavirus pandemic becomes less of a danger. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Graham Giese, scientist emeritus at the Center for Coastal Studies ( ggiese@coastalstudies.org ); Ilana Creinin, Chief of Staff to Delegate Sickles (icreinin@marksickles.com); or Dr. Richard Stamelman, my academic advisor (rstamelman@wm.edu).

Environmental law research
Alexandria, VA, 22308, US
I am senior studying Environmental Studies and International Relations with a focus on food systems. My passion for environmental justice has led me to a variety of experiences from working on a sustainable farm to volunteering at a food rescue center in Copenhagen, Denmark. I value community-driven governance processes and believe those experiencing environmental problems hold the knowledge needed to fix them. My expertise lies in analyzing sustainable agriculture and food systems from a justice and equity standpoint. With this knowledge, I am looking to pursue a career within environmental justice and intend to study environmental law. From my various work and research positions, I am a strong leader capable of working with people from diverse backgrounds and intellectual approaches. In Denmark, I had the opportunity to learn ArcGIS Pro and have since used the skill to analyze spatial data. I am also comfortable and capable of conducting and interpreting interviews. I am relentless with my goal to reinvent food systems and seek to always find innovative solutions to our greatest challenges.
