Laura is currently studying Environmental Geography at Normandale Community College and plans to attend the University of Minnesota this fall. She finds herself most passionate about land management, including habitat restoration, invasive species management, and management of both game and non-game species. Her desire to enter the natural resources field comes from exploring the outdoors with her family on vacations, and from various biology, ecology, geography, and natural resource management courses in school. Laura plans to use the EDI scholarship funds toward her educational goals!
