My name is Annaliese Poliner and I am currently on track to receive a bachelor’s in landscape architecture, as well as a Certificate in Environmental Ethics and a Certificate in Sustainability. Throughout my life, I have visited multiple national parks with my family each summer while growing up and have gained a passion for the outdoors. My upbringing combined with the courses I have had the opportunity to take at UGA have helped me clarify my future goals surrounding land use management, advocacy and design. My ultimate goal is to work in a local or state government position to advocate for the most inclusive and resilient landscape designs possible.
