Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am majoring in International Studies (with a focus on economics) and minoring in Environmental Studies at BC, and I am especially interested in the relationship between economics and the natural environment. I love learning about clean and renewable forms of energy and innovations that are improving the relationship we have with our environment. A class I took last semester, "Climate Change and Society," really sparked my interest in this subject, and I am excited to share what I know about the topic and hopefully give students a better understanding of what climate change really is, as well as how it is currently affecting or will affect the way we live.
