Bio

"As a Green Labs Intern, I am responsible for managing the new Green Labs certification program. This includes encouraging campus labs to develop sustainable practices, implementing energy efficient machinery, and awarding certification to labs. Since this is a new program, I am also responsible for outreach to other universities who have successfully implemented this program in order to replicate it. I am looking forward to creating a more sustainable campus together!"

Sustainability Origin Story: "I grew up in an environmentally friendly culture on the coast of California, so sustainability was always in the forefront of my mind. It wasn’t until I would travel and saw that sustainability wasn’t a priority for all cities. This is where my interest grew into a passion and I saw how it connected to every part of my life. Throughout high school and college I have only gotten more invested in environmental science and sustainability, and I hope to use what I have learned to create change to make the world a better place."
