Kristen
Saile is a senior Natural Resources and Environmental Management major,
concentrating in Environmental Interpretation, with a minor in biology.
She is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, but has conceded to the Hoosier
life temporarily. She aspires to journey out west and become a ranger-naturalist
as soon as she can. She already experienced the ranger way of life last
summer at Grand Teton National Park, which is nearly paradise as far as
she is concerned. Her absolute favorite hobby is horseback riding. In
her spare time she enjoys hiking and hanging out with her roommates, classmates,
family, and pet frog.
Kristen became involved in this seminar for a chance
to educate web users about Indiana's environment. She wrote articles
on William H. Gass,
Haven Kimmel,
and Gene Stratton-Porter's
nonfiction. As part of the research team, she wrote several of the
environmental issues articles, including global
warming, endangered
species, and wetland
destruction. She was also a source of environmental information
for some of her classmates. Her major project this semester was
developing interpretive
signage for the Limberlost.
