Moe Bradley
SENR Ambassador 
Email: bradley.764@osu.edu
Major: Environmental Policy and Decision Making
Specialization: Policy and Governance
Career Interests: I plan on going into legislation in regard to the environment. I am leaning more towards the law-making side of things, so I will likely go to law school after I finish out my time here at OSU.
Favorite Part of SENR/OSU: My favorite part about being in SENR is the community that is built between my peers. I love that I can know every name of the people in my classes while going to such a large school. I have found my professors and instructors to be very approachable and genuinely interested in seeing their students succeed. The School of Environment and Natural Resources may be a bit smaller, but there are so many opportunities here as well as an incredible support system from students, professors, and advisors.

Eleanor Goodell
SENR Ambassador
Email: goodell.39@buckeyemail.osu.edu
Major: Environmental Policy and Decision Making
Specialization: Communication and Behavior Change
Career Interests: I would love to work in global environmental policy. In the future I'm not sure what exactly I'd like to do, but I know I want to travel, because of this I'm also double majoring in Arabic. After graduation I would love to work with the Peace Corps or the Forest Service.
Favorite Part of SENR/ OSU: The School of Environment and Natural Resources makes Ohio State University seem like a much smaller school and sets you up with a community early on. There are also a lot of interdisciplinary classes you can take, which opens you up to new concepts and ideas.
Internship/ Research Experience: This summer I interned with the Forest Service through the Student Conservation Association (SCA). I was stationed in Grand Marais, MN, working for the Superior National Forest as front-line staff.

Hometown: Powell, Ohio
Major: Environmental Policy and Decision Making
Specialization: Policy and Governance
Career Interests: I’m interested in environmental law/legislation and want to become an environmental lawyer. I hope to promote legislation like the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act to help create a cleaner, healthier world.
Favorite Part of SENR/ OSU: My favorite part of OSU and SENR has been the combination of the larger scale opportunities that OSU offers and the smaller, focused academic community that SENR provides.
Internship/ Research Experience: I interned at the Watters Aquatic Conservation Center, a collaborative research facility between OSU, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), and the Columbus Zoo, where I surveyed Central Ohio water quality and contributed to freshwater mussel conservation efforts.

Sam Patchen
SENR Ambassador
Email: patchen.13@buckeyemail.osu.edu
Hometown: Worthington, Ohio
Major: Environmental Policy and Decision Making
Specialization: Communication and Behavior Change
Minor: International Studies
Career Interests: A career path that has always interested me is consulting for international environmental or agricultural projects. I’ve also begun preparing to take the LSAT in case I want to pursue work in environmental law.
Favorite Part of SENR/ OSU: My favorite part of being at Ohio State is the opportunities that enable me to pursue what I’m passionate about. I love the variety of clubs and activities available, where I can find something that interests me, allowing me to meet like-minded people from all over the country and the world.
Internship/ Research Experience: Last year, I had the opportunity to work for the Ohio History Connection as an intern at the Newark Earthworks, one of several pre-Columbian monumental works that make up The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, Ohio’s only UNESCO World Heritage site, where I led tours and provided natural history and indigenous history interpretation. Along with my internship experiences, I’ve also been able to participate in research. Firstly, this past December I was given the opportunity to participate in the State Department’s Diplomacy Lab program, in which I did applied research on Climate Change as a driver of political instability and extremism in Sahelian West Africa, and was eventually able to give a presentation, along with other Ohio State students, on policy recommendations. Lastly, this summer I worked as a research assistant doing policy research on wildlife protection plans.
