Naïma Hill, M.S. Biology '09, is now an instructor at Dallas College teaching Biology. She is a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists and Texas Outdoor Writers Association. 

"My work today is multifaceted but always comes back to encouraging myself and others to be better to ourselves and our environment. I connect people with environmental concerns facing our planet that effect both humans and wildlife with their everyday actions. There are so many ways we can care for our planet – it’s about finding the right choices that make your life better." Naïma said.

Her best advice to incoming students:"Focus on your experiences - sign up to help everywhere you can! The hands-on experience does wonders for your resume and building relationships with your classmates is important. You never know when in the future you might be an old classmate's boss or colleague or working for them!"

Congratulations on all you hard work, Naïma.

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
