What is your favorite EcoRep project that you’ve done?
I’m a new member this year, but I am very excited and cannot wait to begin working on projects this semester and beyond!
How do you engage with sustainability?
I carefully watch the products I buy, observe my habits around the house (i.e. electricity usage, water use, and make sure my appliances and devices are maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste). When I am on campus, I stay on top of my recycling, make sure I reuse as many non-recyclable materials as possible, and attempt to engage with others to make them aware of what they can do to be sustainably conscious and environmentally friendly.
What do you study and why?
Right now, I am looking at majoring in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) because I feel a strong passion for domestic public policy and affairs and how to maximize the good we can do from addressing inequitable education to systemic issues such as racism and poverty. All of this and my drive to help people is why I have decided to major in and study all I can about policy, domestic and foreign problems and affairs because we will need to address many things to move forward in our progress toward a brighter future.
What other campus groups are you involved with?
Before the pandemic, I was an employee of Campus Dining working at the Whitman dining hall, which I hope to return to after we get through this, and I was involved in intramural sports like soccer and dodgeball, but now that those have been halted, currently I am active in the Princeton chapter of UN-USA and my local chapter of College Democrats.
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I love to go on runs or hikes (or now socially distanced walks). I enjoy writing poetry and reading any work I can to keep my mind sharp! Recently, I have been reading A Promised Land by Barack Obama.
Share a fun fact about yourself!
I have an obsession with soccer!
