About

I'm an environmental science student at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, and I am passionate about improving the environment around us to help combat climate change. My interests include native species reintroduction, soil, water, and air quality control. Upon graduation, I hope to start working towards these interests and eventually continue my education on our environment. I want to get a masters to increase my knowledge on different ecosystems in the United States and to further increase my ability to make the needed change towards a sustainable future.
