"From a young age, I've spent countless hours immersed in the world of gardens, learning from my family and nurturing my love for plants and biology. As I've grown older, I've witnessed the ever-changing world around me and discovered a deep passion for inspiring others and learning how to lead a greener lifestyle.

My journey took me across the Atlantic to the UK, where I engaged in consulting work focused on environmental policies. It was there that my commitment to environmental sustainability deepened. Now, I'm eager to dedicate my time and efforts to working with communities, spreading the green movement, and nurturing it from the ground up.

I firmly believe that taking care of ourselves starts with taking care of our environment. There's a world of exciting and accessible ways to embrace a greener lifestyle, and I'm driven to share these opportunities with as many people as possible. Let's embark on this journey together and cultivate a future that's both sustainable and vibrant."

"My interest in the environment started in high school. I couldn't get the image of wildlife trafficking out my mind. Once in college, I began to learn more about environmental issues facing human populations such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Knowledge of environmental issues can become overwhelming due how large the issue spans to every corner of the world. A few years later I gained an increased perspective taking on various positions such as being a Veterinarian Technician, Zoological Aid, Park Ranger, and Research Assistant. After witnessing the connection between people and wildlife in person, I was able to find my own perspective on today's environmental issues. Now, I believe in educating people to the best of my ability. Our human population is not changing any time soon, so our best course of action is to practice sustainability, preservation, and conservation. This is why I decided to join the GoGreenLocally team to help people find even small ways to live more eco-friendly in there own communities."

"During my first year of college, I realized how ignorant I was about the climate crisis. I had always cherished nature and cared about the state of our planet, but I was unaware of the intensity of the issue. I started learning about how the environment interacts with social and political issues and found more reasons every day to fight for the Green Movement. During my third quarter at school I decided to become an environmental studies major. This was the best choice I have ever made. I love learning about the Green Movement and I'm thrilled to be working with this incredible organization. It is so important to make sure people know what resources they have to make a difference. I think that more people would fight for the environment if they knew about the ways to compost, garden, recycle, etc., in their area. GoGreenLocally educates people about these topics and helps them access these resources. "

"I am a dedicated marketing professional with a Communications degree from Texas A&M University. I believe in the power of collective action and making a positive impact in our communities. I joined GoGreenLocally as a way to give back and use my professional marketing experience to make a difference in our communities."

"GoGreenLocally is one of many supportive organizations that advocate for a more sustainable planet. Not only do they share actions that we can complete on the daily, but they aim to help smaller organizations do the same. Working as an intern, I am challenged to incorporate environmental friendly alternatives into my everyday life. I learn new, helpful information and utilize that to promote our platform and message. This opportunity has taught me to be more determined and how to use the media to spread awareness."

Growing up, I developed a profound appreciation for the planet's natural wonders and the delicate balance that sustains life on Earth. Watching the "Planet Earth" documentary series was a profound turning point in my perspective on nature and our role in it. It was impossible not to see how much harm humans have caused to our natural world, from deforestation to pollution and climate change. But I believe in the power of collective action and education to create a sustainable future for all! Being a marketing enthusiast by profession and a lover of nature and arts by passion, volunteering at GOGREENLOCALLY ORG has allowed me to seamlessly blend my skills and passions to promote eco-conscious initiatives that resonate with my heart and expertise.

"With eight years of dedicated video editing experience as a personal passion, I'm currently pursuing my academic journey at the University of Maryland Global Campus, majoring in Environmental Health and Safety with a minor in Biology. My abiding passion lies in discovering innovative ways to protect and enhance our environment. While I'm still immersed in the fascinating worlds of permaculture, horticulture, and eco-friendly practices, my enthusiasm continues to grow. My goal is to inspire those around me to join the movement and work towards a better world, one day at a time."

I am an avid outdoor person who enjoys snowboarding during the winter and hiking and backpacking during the summer. I love to take photos of some of the amazing beauty around the areas I live in: Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Sierra Nevada Mountains, etc.. I am looking forward to using my photography talent to learn more and see how I can contribute to making a more sustainable community that protects our natural resources and wild places.
