How do you engage with sustainability?
In my personal life, I strive to make everyday changes to shift towards more sustainable alternatives, such as having reusables on hand, educating myself on current events, and having conversations about the environment with my friends. I strongly believe that individual changes are what contribute to an ethos of sustainability and building macro-level changes. However, because climate change is driven, in large part, by corporations and large-scale capitalism, I am also very interested in helping affect change there via my work with the EcoReps and participating in elections and protests.
What do you study and why?
I am majoring in Molecular Biology and plan to go to grad school to do research and someday become a professor. I love learning how our bodies work on a cellular level, and I think it is especially cool how many complex mechanisms are going on just so we can exist!
What other campus groups are you involved with?
Outside of EcoReps, I’m heavily involved in Triple 8 Dance Company and love spending time in Frist with my T8 family. I also work with the Pace Center as a Senior Fellow for the Service Focus Education Cohort and dance with BodyHype Dance Co.
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, spending time outdoors with my dog, and doing arts and crafts! My latest work in progress is a temperature blanket.
