Kort is an undergraduate student pursuing a double degree in Visual Communication Design and Environmental Studies with a minor in Urban Ecological Design. She is interested in how creativity and storytelling can center BIPOC narratives within justice-centered work. Kort is passionate about equity in outdoor spaces, decolonizing sustainability narratives, and community organizing. As the CSF Outreach and Education Coordinator, Kort focuses on building community and engaging in conversations about intersectional sustainability in non-traditional environmental spheres. This past year, she collaborated with the team to publish the CSF Resource Guide, an introduction to intersectional sustainability for students. Kort is excited to continue amplifying groups working to redefine the sustainability narrative on campus away from mainstream environmentalism. This year, she hopes to focus on expanding education outreach and integrating arts by publishing a CSF zine.

On slow days and when the sun is out, she enjoys rock climbing, mountain biking, experimenting with film photography, and making all kinds of art.
