Why We Started This Work
Back in 2019, we noticed something troubling. Brilliant ecology graduates were struggling to find meaningful work that matched their training. The gap between academic preparation and real-world ecological careers was wider than anyone wanted to admit.
We'd seen too many talented people drift away from ecology not because they lost interest, but because they couldn't figure out how to build sustainable careers in the field. Traditional career services weren't equipped to handle the unique challenges ecologists face.
"Most career advice assumes you want to work in an office. Ecologists need guidance from people who understand fieldwork, seasonal employment, and the realities of environmental consulting."
