I am a Junior studying at SUNY Environmental Studies with a focus in Communications and Society. My career goal is to use the art of storytelling and filmmaking to expand on environmental issues around the world. As a young child I had always known that I wanted to become a part of the environmental activist movement. I thought maybe I'll become a biologist or a forest ranger, then it dawned on me. The most impactful way to deliver the message of environmental issues is to tell the story of it using all different types of mediums. I have always inspired by the stories David Attenborough, Bill Wallauer, Ben Masters, Jimmy Chin and many more. Humanity has alot of work to do when it comes to political, economic and societal reforms worldwide. It is my goal to inspire the next generation of environmentalists and to boast the message that our planet is in dire need of saving in all aspects of humanities constructions.
