Introduction

Hello, my name is Tayler Dendel. I am a sophomore at WMU majoring in Occupational Therapy. I am from a small town north of Kalamazoo called Otsego. I love working outdoors and with animals. I work at a horse farm teaching kids how to ride. I also have two dogs, Reci and Chewy, at home that love to play outside!

This is the first class I am taking that has to do with environmental issues, but I am glad I am taking it. I have a few friends that have taken environmental classes and have told me how much they enjoyed it. Where I am from the surrounding area is made up of many farms. Because I see all of the issues that the farmers have faced when dealing with the environment I became interested in getting involved in ways that we can help make a difference.
