Future plans:
Next year, I will be working as a Sustainability Coordinator at Pyrotek, a manufacturing company based in Spokane! I also hope to pursue by MBA in the near future to be even more equipped to address issues of corporate social responsibility in my professional career.
How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
Majoring in environmental studies and business administration has pushed me to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on sustainability issues. I have developed skills to look at social and environmental issues from multiple points of view, seeing how complex structures co-create injustice. I feel more empowered to understand and address these problems.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your 91³Ô¹ÏÍø career?
I was honored with the 2024 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles award which recognizes my efforts to build community and increase involvement around sustainability initiatives on campus. Through work study positions and club leadership, I took tangible steps to implement sustainable systems that improve 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s environmental performance.
