I am an Undergraduate at Northeastern University 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 b iggest 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 People Call Me My name is Emma, but my friends often call me, "Em." 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 theWildlife 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. 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! 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 Community 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 My Leadership Founding two college clubs and representing my dorm in Student Senate have helped me develop my leadership skills. Skills Research ・ Data analytics (I love Python) ・ Academic writing ・ How to care for a baby elephant My Languages I love learning new languages! I’m fluent in French and can get around in Spanish. I just started learning Italian as well, grazie per aver letto la mia pagina! Places I Have Lived New York City, Boston, Boulder Places I Have Traveled Yosemite, Cozumel, Aspen, Paris, Alaska My Creative Pursuits I am an avid reader, an aspiring writer, and a passionate photographer. I am also teaching myself how to play the guitar. My Sense of Community I am very involved in my extended family, my tight circle of wonderful friends, and the great women on my sport teams. My Favorite Book(s) Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson My Favorite Entertainment Music and movies. I go hear live music all the time (my favorite band is Five Second of Summer), and Netflix is my guilty pleasure (my favorite movie is The Hangover). My Favorite Podcast(s) This American Life My Favorite Quote “The future will either be green or not at all.” — Bob Brown Other Things I Want to Mention I am the first of seven children, and that position has taught me how to assume responsibility and help others. What I am Doing for a Better World My Thoughts on Making a Difference Our generation is dedicated to making the world more just and sustainable, and I am inspired by the words and actions of so many good people. 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 theWildlife 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 Community 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.
