I graduated from Dickinson College in May 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and an Economics minor. I was a contributing member of the Dickinson College Cross Country and Track and Field teams for four years and was a captain during my senior year. I grew up in a small town west of Boston, Massachusetts surrounded by farms, conservation land and environmentally conscious people. It was not until my time at Dickinson that I realized this is not the case in most parts of this country. My experience at Dickinson helped me find my passion for sustainability, environmental health and environmental economics.
