All year long, WKYC will be spotlighting Girls in STEM, an initiative that inspires girls to embrace science, technology, engineering and math.
Betsy Parks is our STEMbassador this week. She's a climbing arborist with the Parks Tree Company.

By definition, an arborist is a tree surgeon. The job includes tree trimming, assessing and evaluation.
But Parks says her job is so much more and offers a host of rewards.
Watch the full video in the player above to take a glimpse into the world of this unique occupation.
