My name is Amanda and growing up I spent a lot of time outdoors with family and friends doing activities like hiking, rock climbing, and kayaking. This led me to develop a deep appreciation for nature. But, over the years, I began to see the damage that was being done to the environment and see the devastating effects of environmental issues like climate change, severe weather, and air pollution. That's why I am committed to educating others on environmental problems, explaining what can be done to resolve these issues, and working to eliminate these problems myself. I plan to do this by learning more about the environment and human impact through my classes as an environmental science major, collaborating with peers to enact positive change, and pursuing a career in the environmental field related to policy, education, and/or research.
