I’m a passionate and determined riding high school senior from lower Manhattan, NY. I remember the first time I had thought to make a change to coastal areas would be visiting beaches in the city and the pollution is just terrible. Especially since I’m from the city, the plastic waste and cleanliness of bodies of water is just non-existent which is unfortunate. I work with another organization writing about climate change and how it impacts certain neighborhoods which kind of overlaps with the goals of this program. In my free time you’ll find me dancing, rock climbing and spending time with my friends and family.
