I am Amanda Dzifa Alokpa. On May 11, 2024, I graduated from  Duke University School of Law with a Master of Laws and a Certificate in Environmental & Energy law. I will be working in the summer with the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development as a summer clerk.

I am passionate about combatting climate change, and contributing to this by educating young students and leaders about how they can influence environmental policy change.

I have more than 20 years experience teaching middle school, high school and college-level interdisciplinary science courses while acquiring science skills outside the classroom in environmental education, the National Park Service, and Bioinformatics. My newest venture is owning a nature-based early childhood education school in North Carolina.

  I am a student of the environment, my goal is to help others see the beauty and importance of the resources we have around us. 

I'm a part-time environmental educator and full-time communications professional. 

Senior Park Aide (Interpretation) for the CA State Parks.  Currently working at the Salton Sea SRA Visitor Center.
