Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

I intend to finish a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Science, with a minor in urban planning in Policy. I'm interested in doing work that improves environmental and public health. Both directly with environmental restoration and conservation, and indirectly via policy. I'd like to advocate to build our cities with climate resiliency in mind, as well as mitigating the harmful effects urban environments have on the surrounding landscape. I intend to build a better world not only for me and my peers, but also for those coming after us. I hope to work directly with communities to address environmental and political concerns, and cultivate political involvement in the working class. Id also love education to my core and would be quite happy educating others on the outdoors and the wonderful process's that create the world we live in.
