Hometown – Cranford, New Jersey
How do you engage with sustainability?
I engage with sustainability in various ways from reducing my carbon footprint and consumption as an individual to engaging in direct action to promote sustainability within my communities. In my junior year of high school I founded- and still am actively involved in- an environmental education organization called The Green Cause, where high school students create lesson presentations and other educational content for schools and social media. I created this platform to empower high school students to actively participate to improve their communities and create educational resources for schools.
What do you study and why?
I am a mechanical engineering student because I am passionate about renewable energy/ technology. The transition to renewable energy is one of the most important global projects, and I want to contribute by either working with battery technology or nuclear fusion.
What other campus groups are you involved with?
I’m President of Princeton Student Climate Initiative, which focuses on pursuing different climate initiatives ranging from collaborations with Princeton’s municipality to creating awareness of various environmental issues. We are currently in the process of establishing environmental volunteering opportunities with the PACE Center. I also am a partial member of 2D Co-op, which practices sustainability by composting and only cooking delicious vegetarian & vegan foods. Although not related to sustainability, I am a Humor Writer at The Daily Princetonian and plan to get more involved in the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I enjoy hanging out with friends, hiking, thrifting, partaking in photography, and writing humor articles where I get to unwind and satirize Princeton events.
