My name is Olivia, and I use she/they pronouns. I am majoring in Energy Science and Technology, and minoring in French & Sustainable Design. I was inspired to join this program because climate change is an issue that my generation has been warned about since we were young; from watching Bill Nye the Science Guy as a young girl to taking AP Environmental Science in high school, we have been well informed of the consequences of not fundamentally altering our way of life. Seeing the lack of widespread change while I was growing up has motivated me to pursue a career protecting the natural world by building a circular economy and integrating clean electricity into our grid. Completing this certificate will complement my coursework perfectly and will provide the holistic education I’m looking for. I am excited to get to know my fellow cohort members, especially those that I will be spending time with during the practicum. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with professionals in the field and local governments to integrate more sustainable practices.
