I am currently a first-year at UC Santa Cruz, where I am majoring in environmental studies. I enjoy writing, exploring the great outdoors, educating and working with youth, and practicing yoga and meditation. As an environmentalist, I strongly advocate for health and wellness of oneself and of the natural environment-- if you are helping the earth than you are helping yourself and your community. Through my work as an aspiring journalist, I strive to share that message as much as possible in as many unique ways that I can manage.
