Hello all, my name is Aaron Marks and I am from Stillwater Minnesota. I went to Northwestern College for Biology and Biblical Studies- Theology. I graduated two years ago in May of 2010. I have been doing Marketing and sales for the last two years and woke up one day and realized that I was doing was exactly what I didn't want to do with my life. I love the outdoors and want to really utilize the tools and skill sets that I have learned through my college and Au Sable. I want to network and really get a chance to meet someone who might be able to help me achieve my career goals. It has been a privilege and an honor to intern here for the summer. Just chasing the dream from Minnesota to Arizona and up the pacific coast - hopefully, this internship will help me catch up to it. 

If you would like to contact Aaron about future career opportunities, you can email him at [email protected]

Recently graduated, I am enjoying the opportunity to be a part of PRI's mission to restore Whidbey Island's native prairies and to further the associated research. I currently reside in Everett, WA, with my awesome husband Sean. After PRI, I plan to continue pursuing my passion for conservation and restoration, focusing on my interest in ecology, wetlands, and botany, through other work experiences and later in graduate school.
