My years working at Housing Works shaped me deeply, inspiring me to pursue a graduate degree focused on this crisis and its enduring impact.

I’m also on the lookout for fellow birdwatchers and mushroom foragers!

I also love hiking, diving into a good book, exploring films as a true film nerd, and hunting for unique fashion finds—always from thrift stores!

It’s a stark reminder that, while we get to vote and make decisions, these vulnerable animals have no voice in the matter, yet they bear the impact of our choices.
