A little bit about me:

I grew up in Seattle, Washington and now attend Fordham University. I am a freshman on the rowing team and I am currently undecided on my major. I have grown up in a notoriously green area. Although not perfect, my public education set me up to care about the dangers of climate change. My parents have also played a major role in fusing my passion for the environment. They made sure to keep me close to the outdoors. Our family enjoyed hikes, backpacking, and skiing together. On top of that our family made our resolution in 2020 to cut all our carbon emissions. This was a big leap for our family and even though we have a long way to go our progress has been inspiring. I took environmental studies, the fuel behind my blogs, so that I could explore the environmental studies major and learn more about how I can play my part in helping this planet.
