I received my BA in Art & Design and Environmental Studies from the University of Michigan. While in school I worked on the school's Campus Farm, creating and implementing a DEI action plan for the future of the farm. I am curious about the labels and language we use in the environmental field and am particularly interested in various definitions of the term "sustainability". My specific interests and passions within the environmental justice field are food systems (food accessibility, the industrial farming complex, food "deserts", supporting farmers of color, Indigenous farming practices, Big Pharma in food etc.) and the nature of consumption (fragile governments, war-dependent economies, prison labor, globalization etc.). My time with DDCSP has been one of my favorite and most rewarding parts of college and I am excited to continue to find connections within the network.
