His jobs include bird banding, mosquito trapping to test for disease and bear research trapping. He also helps the commission with public programs that are offered throughout the year.
“All of this will help me when I graduate from Cal U,” said King, a senior fisheries and wildlife biology major. “It has exposed me to the many different routes I can take after I graduate.
“Employers are going to like to see that I have a diverse resume of things I’ve done. The last way it is going to help me is through networking. I have worked with so many different professionals this summer who have given me great advice. You never know when knowing someone and them knowing that you are a hard worker can be the difference between getting a job or not.”
