More about me
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science, a field that has captured my passion from a young age. Being born and raised in Houston, Texas, the primary oil and gas export hub in the United States, exposed me to the tangible impacts of climate change and pollution within my community. This early awareness ignited the activist within me, driving me to volunteer, participate in protests, and engage with numerous organizations throughout my life.
My love for the Earth has taken me to explore every continent, with the exception of Antarctica. These global adventures continually inspire my dedication to environmental causes, as I witness the incredible beauty and complexity of Mother Nature firsthand.
Why forests are important to me
Forests are where I find a profound connection to the Earth. They are an irreplaceable treasure of the planet, and a powerful reminder of the precious responsibility we bear in preserving the natural wonders that sustain us. I make it a daily practice to immerse myself in nature, and these thriving ecosystems inspire me with their beauty and the rich tapestry of life they support.
