I was born in Atlanta, GA, where I lived until moving out to Vermont in 2006. Growing up in the southeast is where I found my passion for the outdoors and the environment. I believe that educating others about the environment and all the good that it brings to us as humans is important in this world, especially as climate change continues to impact this world.

I am a student at the University of Vermont, majoring in Environment Studies with a focus on renewable energy. I will be interning for Creative Energies, a renewable energy company out in Lander, Wyoming this summer where I will have the opportunity to begin my life path. Edward Abbey is an idol of mine and believe in his philosophy about the outdoors and how it should be treated. ABBEY LIVES
