Kaylie recently took the Water and Soil Resource Management course at Unity College with Professor Maurice Testa.
"My name is Kaylie Matthews, and I’m pursuing a master's degree in environmental science at Unity College. I’m originally from southern California, but I now live in Seattle, Washington. Before attending Unity, I received my bachelors in Earth and Environmental Science from Washington State University. After my undergraduate degree, I started working as an intern, and I realized that there was still so much that I could learn regarding environmental science. At that point, I decided that I wanted more in-depth knowledge regarding environmental science not only for my own curiosities but for my career.
When looking at grad schools, I was looking for a program where I could continue to work full time. I ultimately decided on Unity college for the flexibility of the online graduate program. By picking Unity, I have been able to work and gather experience while also continuing my education. Currently, I am working as an environmental scientist consultant for WSP USA.
I recently took the Water and Soil Resource Management course. I appreciated that there was a lot of overlap between the topics in this class and my job. For example, our final project was to write an environmental assessment which I was also doing at work. It is very reassuring to know that the topics that are being covered in my classes are very practicable and setting me up for a successful career.
After receiving my degree, I plan to continue working as an environmental scientist. The fun part is that I have no idea what opportunities may present themselves, but I’m excited to see what happens!"
