I first became an environmental activist when I started a recycling program at my high school and donated the revenue from the recyclables to building homes for the homeless. During college, I studied abroad in Kenya and worked closely with a non-profit to start a bio-digester program to reduce deforestation. I then interned at UNEP RONA and became UNEP’s Tunza Youth Advisor for North America. I also interned in The White House and wrote political briefings for President Obama. After college, I joined the Peace Corps and began working with moringa.
