I am a second-year student at the University of Cincinnati, double majoring in Environmental Studies and Geology along with a GIS certificate. I am passionate about environmental protection and aspire to build a career that empowers sustainability efforts for the sake of communities and the protection of our planet. At UC, I actively participate in the Bearcat Marching Band as a trumpeter and attend the UC Sustainability Summit, where I engage in projects focusing on improving the sustainability of my university. Before my current studies, I earned my cosmetology license at Diamond Oaks Career Campus during high school. I now work at Sally Beauty, where I apply the skills I gained in cosmetology school while also learning fundamental costumer service skills. I hope to build connections with people in the environmental industry and explore the opportunities this career path has to offer.
