" I am an Undergraduate at A T Still University of Health Sciences Please see my charitable wish list. I hope you create a profile page like this and a charitable wish list, too. About Me I am the biggest animal-lover you have ever met! That includes my dog and cat (Taco and Tofu), my horse (Edgar Allan Pony), the hummingbirds outside my mom’s kitchen window, the wildlife I see when camping Yosemite, or the whales and elephants that I hope to see in person someday. This passion has shaped my studies, my weekend adventures, my philanthropy, and my career plans. What I Plan to do with My One Wild and Precious Life After graduate school, I plan to become a climate scientist and advocate. I want to continue my research on how best to combat climate change and get better policies put into action! My Academics I’m a junior, majoring in Environmental Science with a minor in Psychology. Because climate change threatens all my animal friends (and all of us!), I am excited to be working in Dr. Henderson’s lab on research into alternative energy sources. My Extracurriculars Outside of class, I am the Vice President of the Wildlife and Conservation Club. When we are not out hiking and doing clean-ups, we work to spread awareness of the importance of protecting our natural environment. I’m also the Secretary of my sorority, Delta Delta Delta. As the name implies, we are all about change, and we support The Sierra Club. We are the Green Greeks! We maintain a sustainable lifestyle at our sorority house, and we promote that practice to all Greek life on campus! My Athletics I’m the goalkeeper on an undefeated club soccer team at UMD. I’ve met so many amazing people, and I love the competition. I’m also the co-captain of the intramural tennis team. We hope to bring home the championship this year! Go Terps! My Jobs and Internships I interned at the United Nations Foundation the year before last, and I got a great internship with Changing The Present this past summer. I loved it! It was a great chance to make an impact, assume a tremendous amount of responsibility, and learn so much. It was also a lot of fun working with wonderful people from around the world. Now, I am continuing with them as a Public Engagement Intern, helping raise awareness at my college. My Honors and Awards Dean’s List every semester ・ Sorority Member of the Year ・ Environmental Research Grant Skills Research ・ Data analytics (I love Python) ・ Academic writing ・ How to care for a baby elephant My Languages I love learning new languages!

I am dedicated to doing my part, and maybe I can encourage others to do the same.

I am vegan, recycle, avoid single-use plastic, and bike whenever I can. My Volunteering and Community Service I volunteer weekly at the local garden to provide sustainable food to families in need. I also plant trees and remove invasive species bi-weekly for the Wildlife Conservation Club. Each summer, I go abroad to work on wildlife conservation. We protect elephants and rhinos, and we care for those that cannot return to their native habitats. I am also a Public Engagement Intern for the Environment with Changing The Present. My Charitable Fundraising Most of my charitable fundraising has been through my sorority, and last year we raised twelve thousand dollars for Sierra Club. I was also proud to raise four hundred dollars for Children’s National Hospital through Thon, our college danceathon. Charitable Wish Lists on Changing The Present I love the idea of people making meaningful donations instead of buying unneeded presents; it is a much more rewarding way for all of us to show our love. Here is my charitable wish list for a better world. Be sure to create your wish list or registry Let's Make a Difference Together Here is a nice way to show your friendship or love.
