I am a senior at GW studying Journalism in SMPA. I am most interested in climate justice and the intersection between the food system and climate change. I also interned for Planet Forward in the spring of 2015. 

What you do at Planet Forward: A little bit of everything. I like to make videos the most! 

What your friends think you do at Planet Forward: Preach about the environment in a drum circle while wearing Birkenstocks. 

Why we must care about the environment (in 10 words or less): Everyone deserves the right to a healthy planet. 

If you win the lottery, you will:​ travel and make a documentary about farming!
