I believe in the positive impact of engaging in value-driven work. This core belief guides me as I complete a Bachelor of Science in Geology at the State University of New York at New Paltz (expected May 2025). I have a growing passion for applications of sustainability and environmental justice across private industry and government agencies. I am determined to leverage my foundational education and skills in geological processes to support and empower communities most vulnerable to the harmful effects of global climate change and environmental degradation. I have a professional and personal mission of mitigating the harmful effects of climate change and conserving Earth's natural resources and ecosystems for the progress of future generations.
