About

I attained a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science at the University of San Francisco in May 2017. I am particularly interested in soil nutrient cycling. I was the president of USF's Environmental Justice and Outdoors Club, which combines outdoor recreation, volunteering, and on-campus environmental justice initiatives to foster student appreciation for nature. In addition, I worked with a professor studying nitrogen cycling in floodplain soils.
