Bio: Caelan Sullivan recently graduated from Front Range Community College with an Associates of Applied Science that focused in horticulture and landscape technologies. Before pursuing their interests in natural sciences, they attended FRCC as an art student and spent most of their time capturing the intricacies of the human form. At their core, the one thing that Caelan increasingly strives to understand is the interconnectedness of all living systems; as pieces and on a larger scale. Inevitably this curiosity, and an inspiring professor, led them to phytology where they feel they’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. 

In truth, should you ask Caelan what their plans in life are and which pursuits they wish to chase, you may find that they don’t have a very thorough answer. When they spend their free time listening to the life stories of esteemed academics or captivating neophytes, there is one trait which they all seem to share. They are simply intrinsically motivated and carried by their passions.
