For several summers I interned with the Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) and two of their nature centres in my home of Montgomery County, Maryland—Brookside and Maydale.
There, I performed a variety of tasks including making maps and educational materials for visitors on environmental science topics, including extreme weather and local species. Examples of my work are below:
I designed this colourful map of Maydale showing visitors the five different habitats they can explore.
Logos for the habitat trails
The park's parcel boundary and points of interest marked in GIS software
I worked on many diverse projects in a mostly self-directed manner, which allowed me to develop a lot of the basic data collection, cartography and design skills I still use today. I also had the benefit of working with the wonderful M-NCPPC naturalists.
If you're ever in the area, I highly suggest you check out both nature centres and keep and eye out for my work!
