Intro - Angela Boney

"Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth." - Chief Seattle

Growing up, I - Angela Boney - had to accept the old adage of "wherever you lay your head is your home"; however, since moving to Florida in 2006 I've learned that, unless I'm in an area that provides mountains and glacier-fed lakes, I am completely out of my element. 

Speaking of elements, after taking a crash course on cancer in 2012 because a family member was unexpectedly diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I developed a keen interest in how us human folk chemically affect the environment and how that comes back to haunt us via our food, water, and air. I thankfully came to realize in my mid-20s that life isn't all about making money and decided to go back to school in order to learn something that will enable me to help the environment, humans, and the planet. 

During this course I hope to get technical hands on experience as well as figure out if the ocean is an environmental area I'd like to focus on.  One day, once I've received an A.S. or B.S. degree from Daytona State College, I'd love to move to the West Coast, specifically Oregon or Washington, and spend the rest of my life doing something that has a positive impact on this planet.
