I am a junior majoring in environmental science and conservation with a minor in communications at Concordia University Texas. I am also a "Selah Scholars" fellowship recipient at Concordia University with the Environmental Science Department doing research and advocacy work pertaining to environmental stewardship, education, and climate change. I am taking the “Climate Advocacy Certification” course through Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL). Currently, I am a CCL student climate advocate through their Campus Leaders Program and I am the founder and leadder a CCL student chapter at my university. I have a passion for the arts, history, environmental science, botany, climate policy, psychology, interpersonal communications, social and environmental justice, and political science. After graduation, I would like to pursue a career in environmental policy and work for the Texas government at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). AI also occasionally do volunteer work with the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) and with Concordia's Office of Environmental Stewardship. Last semester I completed the Bard College C2C Fellows Sustainability Leaders Workshop and Certification. Additionally, I did volunteer work with my local humane society and nursing home for many years and worked as a campaign volunteer for a senatorial campaign in 2018 doing data collection.
