After years in the hotel industry Sarah made the jump to natural resources choosing to study Botany at Humboldt State. Her passion for plants and happy happenstance networking landed her a seasonal position at Redwood National Park. Now she is earning her Masters at Humboldt enjoying the unique biology courses offered by the biodiversity our region offers. She says to not be discouraged by learning scientific names and shares that she took a chance with her first seasonal field experience and reaped the benefits tenfold.
