Caison Gray Email & Phone Number

I am a first-year Environmental Management graduate student at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. While attending Davidson College, I was able to complete two environmental based study abroad programs through School of Field Studies (SFS). Through SFS, I completed research in Bocas del Toro, Panama and Puerto Natales, Chile, both completely different environments, which I purposely picked for that reason. I wanted to expand my general knowledge in environmental studies and gain the skill of adaptability depending on my surrounding circumstances. I am deeply committed to work relating to environmental justice, environmental health, and social inequality. Having addressed pressing environmental issues in Patagonia, in Panama, and my home state of North Carolina, I have made having a global and varied perspective on the importance of environmental health and community engagement a priority in my professional and personal life.Throughout my academic journey, I have honed skills in mixed-method research, writing, history and leadership all with a justice-oriented lens. I was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina, and graduated from Davidson College with degrees in Environmental Humanities and concentrations in Public Health and Spanish.
