Expected graduation: May 2026

What inspired your interest in the environment and/or community? For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about wildlife. As a kid, I spent most of my time outdoors, surrounded by family, friends, and mentors who taught me the value of respecting the environment, showing compassion for animals, and appreciating the importance of community. From them, I learned not only the significance of building meaningful relationships but also the importance of living sustainably and cherishing the natural gifts our planet has to offer.
