I am eager to inspire the next generation, through caring and meaningful interactions.
I am a Ph.D. student in Architecture at Penn State University. My research interest focuses on the role of community engagement in green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) development. I am currently conducting research exploring education's role in public behavior change toward GSI.
From my teenage years I have had and grown a passion for wildlife, nature, and connecting people to them through education and activities. I especially have a passion for inspiring youth to have a passion for our environment and mentoring them as they discover themselves and the world around them.
