David Nguyen is currently an undergraduate student studying for a bachelor’s degree in NRES, with a concentration in Human Dimensions of the Environment. He is also pursuing a minor in “Spatial & Quantitative Methods in NRES” to complement his education in the social sciences. Currently, he is an intern on the aquatic invasive species project, which focuses on sampling local fisher people across the Great Lakes, in order to raise awareness of invasives. For summer of 2019, he is also interning on the inclusive conservation project, which deals with stakeholders around Denali National Park and Preserve. He hopes to find a career in government agencies such as the USDA or USGS, in order to help make a positive impact on future conservation efforts.
