Summary
Student passionate about climate justice and environmental protection. Full of energy to enact positive change in the local community, including the UvA. Working with sustainability during most of my academic career, I have close ties to professors that work on sustainability issues inside and outside the UvA. Having a proven track record organizing research, mobilizing publics for direct action, and bridging gaps between bureaucratic institutions and the people on the ground, I am the right fit to help the university through its long and arduous path to sustainability.
