What do you do once you figure out that you want to in parks and Recreation? This is the question that Deona and I started within this conversation. Deona reached out to me as a current student in the parks and recreation field. I definitely see her as an up-and-coming leader in our field, and I am excited to hear what she has to say! We talked about how to choose your degree, the right school, the right classes, and then how to get your foot in the door. She has some really useful tips around volunteering, researching your dream job, and reaching out to other professionals. Deona is working on an app to help people experience parks in new ways.
