As the 2016 Fred L. Tobiason Outdoor Learning Scholar, thanks to funding by the Wiancko Charitable Foundation and the Fred Tobiason Endowment, I was able to work full-time for 10 weeks with Professor Wendy Call, doing preliminary research for a book proposal she is developing. The book will be a creative writing guide on “sense of place” which paired well with the personal essay project that was also a part of my research grant: an autobiographical, research-based, nonfiction essay collection about my lived experience in various urban nature sites in Tacoma, including the old PLU golf course.
