Montgomery County Parks, Montgomery Co. Maryland, United States
Imagine you find a key and this key unlocks all the doors to any career you desire: this is Ecology. Ecology is the foundation for all things that make my ideas glow, make the flowers bloom, and show me why my skills and brand will never go out of style. Engaging with nature through play, my childhood. Ecology, the science and foundation. Environmental Sciences and Agricultural Education, the degrees. Community Gardens, my playground. Local Government, the lab. No day or season is the same in the Parks. This career requires the intelligence of an ant, the meander of a stream, eyesight of a hawk, the grace of a deer, and sometimes the silence of the forest. This is my story and the way of the wild. Ecological masterminds exist, like unicorns; and we get paid to make our ideas stretch concepts for fun.
