About Me
I had the chance to study the intersections of psychology and the environment at Oberlin, which sort of happened naturally, but it really helped me find my vocational calling! I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo as a Sustainability Intern and afterwards decided to dive into the environmental sector. I was able to turn my interests into research at Oberlin, and then an Honors Thesis about the psychological impact of thinking about apocalypse. I'm thankful for the great mentors I found at Oberlin and the dorky friends I'll keep up with forever. I lived in a house called the Shack, caught a turtle and was lucky enough to have writing published with the help of great professors.
