My name is Meredith Klinzing and I am a sophomore at ±Ø²©ÓéÀÖ,±È²©ÓéÀÖÍøÖ· ######### majoring in economics. Outside of class, I am involved in the wildlife conservation club, volunteer at the local animal shelter and love hiking in the bioreserve.

I am from Annapolis, Maryland so I grew up surrounded by the water and I have a special love for coastal wetlands, they are soooo underrated. I LOVE being outside and enjoy activities like running, hiking, exploring, and swimming. Additionally, I have a strong passion for reproductive justice and sex education, which has led me to serve as the Vice President of ±Ø²©ÓéÀÖ,±È²©ÓéÀÖÍøÖ· #########ians for Planned Parenthood. During the past summer, I had the incredible opportunity to work as an intern at NASA, where I used aerial technology to address environmental concerns in California. I also spent three semesters abroad, exploring how different parts of the world approach ecology and conservation. I wanted to work for the museum because I love the integration of art, science, and activism.

In her free time, Allie enjoys running, watching documentaries (preferably history or nature), having downtime with friends, and most of all, writing and playing music. She is deeply grateful for her experience as a museum intern and always looks forward to her interactions with other interns, and of course, Megan and Sam!
