Meet the EcoReps- Francesca DiMare ’23

Hometown – Brockton, MA

Spring Location – On Campus

What is your favorite EcoRep project that you’ve done?

I really loved collaborating with PSCI to develop a carbon emissions calculator! It was such a great experience working with another sustainability group on campus, and the final product was very worthwhile!

How do you engage with sustainability?

I try to be really conscious of my consumer habits and work to make my own lifestyle as sustainable as possible, such as by using reusables and being conscious of the waste I produce. I also try to advocate for larger-scale action whenever possible.

What do you study and why?

Currently, I’m in the chemical and biological engineering department. I really love how it allows me to pursue my interests in materials science and sustainable energy, and gives me the flexibility to go into research or many other exciting fields! I also really love chemistry and am fascinated by understanding how things work when scaled up, and I hope to play a role in reducing emissions from chemical processes.

What other campus groups are you involved with?

I’m on the Kenya team in Engineers Without Borders, I tutor for McGraw, and I’m the events coordinator for the Princeton Chemical Society.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I love ice skating, going on adventures (especially outdoors!), and watching too much Netflix for my own good.

Share a fun fact about yourself!

I’ve been skydiving!
