Erin Donovan
Communications Major
Hi! I am Erin and I'm from Ridley, PA. In terms of nature I am attracted to forrest, beaches, and animals. Some of my happiest memories in life involve me connecting with the natural world, including running cross country at Belmont Plateu, playing with my adorable dog Checkers, summers down the shore at Sea Isle City with family and friends, and even swimming with a dolphin in Florida. I look forward for you to see my projects such as videos/articles that show and talk about our beautiful earth!

Hi, my name is Hailey and I'm from Sewell, NJ. I am a transfer student studying Nursing. I enjoy going to the beach, paddle boarding, shopping, and playing with my 3 dogs!
I've had a strong connection to nature from a young age. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and traveling to different places like Costa Rica and Aruba. ENG104 has allowed me to go deeper into my connection with nature and I recommend the class to anyone interested!

Daphnay Exume
Nursing Major
Hello everyone, I'm Daphnay Exume, a nursing major with a passion for nature and a love for music. Nature has always been my source of inspiration and tranquility. Whether it's the soothing rustle of leaves or the vibrant colors of a sunset, I find joy in the simple beauty of the outdoors. I chose nursing because I believe in the power of compassion and care. It's not just a profession for me; it's a calling to make a positive impact on people's lives. Music is my escape and motivator, adding a rhythm to my journey through the challenges of nursing school. Here's to a harmonious blend of nature, music, and the fulfilling path of nursing!
