About

I am a senior in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University, majoring in Environment & Sustainability and minoring in Education. As a co-leader on the Cornell Botanic Gardens’ Learning by Leading (LxL) Youth Education team, I collaborate with my peers and mentors to co-create and deliver educational programs for youth in the Ithaca area. My experience being a part of the LxL team has deepened my understanding and appreciation of the vital role the Cornell Botanic Gardens plays in serving Cornell students, fostering a stronger connection to environmental stewardship within the campus community.
