My name is Melissa Graciosa and I was forged in the fertile floodplain
of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I recently graduated from the
University of Oregon with a bachelors of science in Environmental
Science. Through a combination of experience in environmental
education connecting middle school students with their local forests
and trekking through the black bear speckled slopes of Olympic
National Park in Washington participating in a wildlife monitoring
project I have been led to serve with the SCA NH Corps and Americorps.
In my quest to share my enthusiasm for the outdoors with the youth of
New Hampshire I also hope to gain valuable service skills during our
conservation season.
