What is your major? Landscape architecture

Expected graduation: May 2027

What inspired your interest in the environment and/or community? At UW-Madison, I am a landscape architecture major working for a sustainability certificate. My East African heritage and my curiosity about how people use the land are the main causes of my interest in the environment and community.

My enthusiasm for environmental stewardship was further stoked during my first year of volunteering at the UW–Madison Arboretum, where I worked on soil repair and plant care. I’m eager to investigate how vibrant communities and healthy ecosystems might be better connected via sustainable design.
