Climate Change Education & Research

Master of Public Health Graduate - Environmental Health Certificate | Specialty: Environmental Health
I studied Environmental Health, which relates to the impact of the environment on human (and animal) health, and vice versa. I am passionate about how drastic changes in the environment and weather patterns already endanger the health of Earth's species, and the continued growth of the effects. In relation to health inequities, the environmental health field elucidates inequities in hazardous exposures, with the burden often falling disproportionately on communities of color, so my work also relates to environmental justice.
At BU, I have held a leadership role in the BUMC Climate Action Group, been a teaching assistant for multiple courses, and been involved with research in infectious disease and environmental health at the School of Public Health (SPH).
I am originally from California and love being outside. I also love to bike, do yoga, crochet, and work in my garden.
While at BU, some of the opportunities I have taken part in have included:
Involvement with members of BU Sustainability allowed me to build community across school boundaries. I am excited by the various sustainability- and climate-related work happening across BU. Participating in these activities enriched my experience as a student, and I've built personal and professional bonds in the sustainability field that I'm excited to foster.
