I am extremely excited to announce that I have officially graduated from UC Davis with a B.S in Environmental Science and Management with a concentration in Natural Resource Management! These past years at Davis have been some of the most amazing years of my life. I gained so many new life experiences and learned so much through internships and classes. I got to work on an urban farm and pursue a fellowship working with the Yolo County Food Bank. I worked in a research lab studying zooplankton and photovoltaics. I made my way to D.C and Connecticut, meeting and working with changemakers at environmental nonprofits. Additionally, I got to create the Matcha Makers Association, crafting drinks and creating community through matcha. I also get to leave a legacy of establishing 2 sister chapters at UCSD and UCR. I got to give campus tours to high school student, write newsletters highlighting queer entrepreneurs, and support Ukrainian students in their journey of learning English. These diverse experiences shined a light on what interests me and what career path I seek to pursue. They have solidified my choice to pursue a career uplifting and empowering communities through environmental advocacy and policy. Along the way, I also made the most incredible friends, who encouraged me to reach for the sky and land among the stars. I attribute my success to them as they have always shown me support. They are some of the most exceptional people I know, and I am privileged to have met them in this lifetime. I am excited to begin this next chapter of my life and will have exciting updates to share soon!
