Hello!

Hi, I’m Matthew — an aspiring Environmental Scientist with a strong interest in environmental analysis and geologic fieldwork. I’m passionate about understanding Earth’s systems and using scientific tools to analyze natural patterns, assess environmental impacts, and contribute to sustainable solutions. I earned my B.S. in Environmental Systems – Earth Science from UC San Diego, where I was introduced to GIS as a powerful tool for visualizing and interpreting environmental data. Since then, I’ve continued developing my skills in environmental data analysis, including work in Python, cartography, and field work, and I completed a GIS Certificate at Mt. San Jacinto College. My focus is on applying environmental science in practical, impactful ways — whether it’s through field data collection, spatial modeling, or environmental reporting. I’m particularly motivated by conservation work and the need to address environmental challenges at both local and global scales. Outside of science, I enjoy making music, cooking, painting, being outdoors, and creating 3D art. I try to bring the same curiosity and creativity from those hobbies into my scientific work. I’m currently seeking an entry-level role where I can apply my skills in environmental science, data analysis, and problem-solving to real-world environmental challenges. Feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect.
