Meet one of #IDEM’s State Cleanup interns, Nicholas Bradly. Nicholas is a Ball State University grad with a degree in Natural Resources and Environmental Management alongside a minor in Emergency Management and Homeland Security. This #Hoosier native grew up in New Palestine and has been working with IDEM for the summer by making sure companies and individuals are keeping the state clean. When Nicholas is not working you can find him working out or cooking a mean breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Nicholas’s love for the environment shows in the passion for his work. With his skills and his OSHA 40 certification, he’s able to go gain real-work experience by visiting sites and working with private consultants to clean up contaminants. “In the little time I’ve spent here, I feel like I am making an impact. I want to keep Indiana as the great state it is.” #MeetTheTeamMonday #InternEdition
