About
I will be attending Point Loma Nazarene University as an Environmental Science major. I've spent several years volunteering as a Climate Educator dedicated to teaching young children some of the small changes that they can make that will reduce waste, save habitats, and protect animals from around the world. I am particularly interested in Climate Science, Meteorology, and Environmental Justice issues and look forward to widening my horizons on other environmental matters.
