About me!

Hello, I am an Interdisciplinary Major with a concentration in Environmentalism. Through  Collaborative Relationships, and Leadership I see a future for all. Growing up in nature on the coast of Northern California is what inspired me to join the climate justice movement. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with a local nonprofit in Bellingham and with my local community on climate justice issues.
