About
I am a graduate student at Antioch University New England in Hew Hampshire, United States.
I have studied around the globe in various environmental disciplines which has led me to pursue a career in environmental activism. I hope to be able to add global perspectives to issues in this community.
I am arecent graduate of Long Island University, and the former Southampton College, which was run into the ground by its parent institution. I first became involved in advocacy as a relunctnat activist trying to do what I could to try and save my college from the wrecking ball, and to advocate for its continuation as an institute of higher learning. I was heavily involved with, and then became the leader of a group called the Orphans of L.I.U. (Long Island University) which also worked with the alumni group Save the College at Southampton.
I then embarked on a three-year plan to graduate early, see the world, and gain as many different perspectives on the environmental movement as possible. This included a wildlife management safari in South Africa and Swaziland, an internship on Eastern long Island with the Group for the South Fork, studying with Living Routes in the Huhuecoyotl ecovillage in Mexico and Ecocentro IPEC in Brazil, volunteering tracking Andean Bears in northern Ecuador, studying and traveling in eastern and cental Australia for three months, living and studying in Costa Rica with the Friends World Program including volunteering in two national parks and traveling to Ecuador once again, and working withing the campus setting at Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus to advocate for recycling efforts and provide the campus community with the opportunity to embrace environmental awareness and learn about environmental issues through the organization P.E.A.C.E. (Protecting Every Aspect Concerning the Environment).
I am currently synthesizing all of these experiences as a graduate student in Antioch's Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program, where I hope to tie everything together and embark from there....to somewhere.
