Bio

I'm Leva and I am studying Biology at Irvine Valley College to transfer into Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine. Two opposing passions of mine, fashion design and environmentalism, ultimately led me to where I am today—driven by a deep commitment to scale sustainable materials and help replace our current packaging with solutions that do not harm our environment, animals, or health. I am dedicated to contributing to protecting our environment while continuing my involvement in social justice, driven by my background as an Iranian refugee.
