Hi my name is Kaitlyn but I go by Kaity. I am in my last year of the ESP program and currently live in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. I moved here after living in Australia for a year and before that I lived my whole life in California, so I’m adjusting to the cold in Wyoming. I have a BS in Hospitality and my current job mixes the two as I’m working for a lodging company as the environmental coordinator. I love my job but I would like to get into working with other countries to help them build sustainable developments/communities. I have even thought of starting my own business doing this sometime in the future so this class is exactly what I need to figure out if it is even possible!
During my senior year of high school we had to start a business for a class so my friends and I made t-shirts but that’s about all the start up experience I have. I think my idea of helping developing countries build sustainable communities would have a significant impact on the industry since they would be starting sustainable from the beginning rather than what we are doing now trying to back track.
Hi Kaitlyn, my name is Katie Loyd and I am also an ESP student but this is only my second year! Congrats for almost finishing the program! I feel the exact way as you do! I have so many ideas but I don’t even know if they are feasible so this course should definitely help us! I bet you are missing all that sun out in Cali! I lived outside of Sacramento for about 7 months and I loved the atmosphere Cali had to offer and all the sustainability projects they are undertaking! I was also in Wyoming for a little bit and I wasn’t too fond of it there for I like grass way too much! I think your idea of helping other countries build sustainable is a great idea and wanted to wish you luck on your dreams! Best of luck this semester and your education!
