She is also interested in ways organizations, NGOs, governments (etc.) develop policies on climate change, federal sustainability, and environmental justice issues while engaging with communities on the group when devising solutions. She wants to engage with and experience the direct impact of conducting environmental research/legal analysis and take on the hands-on responsibility of propelling sustainable practices in our global community.
