About me

I am passionate about the environment because I see it as our shared home, vital to our well-being and future. Cultural understanding plays a huge role in this passion, as diverse perspectives enrich our approaches to environmental issues and highlight the deep connections different communities have with nature. 

By embracing cultural knowledge, we can foster greater empathy and collaboration in addressing challenges like climate change and pollution. I strive to work toward environmental justice, advocating for those disproportionately affected by environmental degradation. 

By amplifying marginalized voices and promoting equitable solutions, I hope to create a more sustainable and just world where everyone can thrive in harmony with the environment.
