I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder with a strong passion for the environment and wildlife. Growing up in Colorado allowed me to explore the state’s diverse landscapes firsthand, sparking my interest in conservation and inspiring me to take environmental education courses. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep commitment to understanding environmental issues and contributing to solutions that support both ecosystems and communities.
