I am a Political Science honors student with a 4.04 GPA at the University of Oregon with a focus on environmental policy and a minor in Japanese. I’m passionate about climate action and advocacy, and I cofounded the Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) chapter at the U of O.
What I do
I have successfully mobilized students and community members to actively engage with legislators and promote policies for pressing climate challenges. One of my most significant accomplishments during my time with CCL has been leading a delegation to Washington D.C., where we (a group of 4 ) successfully engaged with several prominent Congressional members. This advocacy led to commitments of support for key legislation related to carbon pricing and clean energy permitting reform, further validating our efforts to address pressing climate challenges.
I possess robust experience in research, demonstrated by my involvement with CCL campaigns and academic projects spanning international climate negotiations and urban policing strategies.
The power to drive change
I believe in the power of community outreach and education to drive change, evident in my efforts leading pollution prevention campaigns, promoting clean energy permitting, and advocating for reduced dependency on fossil fuels. I also bring to the table core competencies in advocacy, foreign policy, public speaking, public policy, relationship building, and energy permitting reform, among others.
