Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a M.S. student at Stanford University in the Earth Systems Program studying how education and effective communication methods incorporating persuasive psychology and design thinking can promote more environmentally sustainable behaviors among the general population, particularly by empowering youth, the next generation, who can shape their own communities. I love to backback, travel and dance! I have danced all my life, most recently for the past four years with Stanford's Kuumba African Dance and Drum Ensemble!
