I completed undergraduate studies at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University in pursuit of a degree in Environmental Science and am currently working on my PhD at UCLA under the tutelage of Peggy Fong and Paul Barber within the UCLA EEB department. Over my college career, my passion for advocacy has evolved, and my desire to become an influential voice for environmental stewardship and justice remains steadfast. I have hopes of one day working for an organization focused on corporate responsibility and/or environmental concerns.
