EPCAMR welcomes our Spring 2016 Intern, Gavin Pellitteri! Originally from San Diego, CA, his family now resides in Bloomsburg, PA. Gavin attended Roanoke College in Virginia, majoring in Environmental Science and playing for their baseball team. His degree is focused in Ecology, Sustainability and Permaculture; and he has field experience, including water quality testing, benthic fish and macroinvertebrate sampling, and environmental/economic impact assessments in the Southeastern United States as a result of surface and mountain-top removal mining. Gavin enjoys snowboarding, hiking, traveling, fishing, and collecting salamanders and other amphibians for herpetological surveys.
“What I hope to receive out of an internship with EPCAMR is the ability to continue gaining experience while making connections with the professionals in the field of watershed restoration of mining-impacted communities. I believe EPCAMR will provide me with the expertise to help continue to lay the groundwork for a life-long career in environmental service,” said Gavin. He goes on to say, “I am elated at the opportunity EPCAMR has given me, by allowing me to gain insight on the work they are doing to remediate AMD and reclaim land in communities affected by mine water pollution.”
We are happy to have you, Gavin!
