Elise Adams
June 1st is the start of my internship with time split between the island of Unalaska, Alaska and Flagstaff, Arizona.
I have lived in Anchorage, Alaska almost all my life. I am currently a graduate student at Northern Arizona University and am excited to do my research and field work in my home state. I am the youngest of 4 kids and have always been close to my family. I love to travel, hike and do outdoor activities. I also love to figure skate, rock climb, cook and spend time with my family and friends.
Before starting graduate school I worked at the Alaska Zoo for several years, part of that time as a zookeeper. It was hard work but fun and rewarding!
I knew I wanted to work in science and conservation since 7th grade when I did a project about Rachel Carson and her work. I want to make a positive difference in the world through both my work and personal life.
