As part of her internship at Island Beach State Park, Alexa spent time at the Sedge Island Natural Resource Education Center working with 6th – 9th graders. Alexa took the students kayaking, fishing, and taught them about a lifestyle focused on conservation. Alexa feels that the first year of the Marine Bio major helped prepare her for the internship, and she is looking forward to taking botany since the internship introduced her to new plants and how to identify them.
