From growing up swimming in the Great Lakes to skiing and climbing the Rocky Mountains, my love for the outdoors runs deep. I studied Environmental Science, Sustainability, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University. This is where my roots and passion for environmental science, health, sustainability, and policy flourished. I love learning about and understanding the interconnectedness of our earth system and how everything is linked to one another. During my Fulbright Fellowship in Helsinki, Finland, I researched nature-based solutions to solve global challenges like land-use change and human health. I believe that protecting the Arctic and our Global Commons are pressing matters for biodiversity, our climate, and most importantly, our livelihoods.
