Bio

I'm Leva and I am studying Biological Sciences with a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I am driven by a deep commitment to our environment and people, and especially obsessed with biobased materials and alternatives that do not harm our environment, animals, or health. My experience as a refugee has taught me how to navigate systems that were not built for me, and how to use that knowledge to help build better ones.
