About me!

I am majoring in environmental studies. Growing up, I was first inspired to think about climate change when I would hear stories of my dad going to Alaska, and him seeing the glaciers melt. I hope this opportunity will allow me to better see my place in perpetuating social and climate injustices and allow me to direct my energy into fighting for a better world that cares about the earth and the people within it.
