About Me

I graduated from Rice University back in 2013, where I majored in Evolutionary Biology and the Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality (SWGS). I have been on Wikipedia for close to 3 years now since Dr. Joan Strassmann introduced me to Wikipedia Contributing as part of an assignment in her Animal Behaviour class. Today, I am currently a graduate student at Columbia University (School of International and Public Affairs) where I am working to earn my Masters of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy. I am very interested in policy issues that are relevant to the environment and social equality and I hope to pursue work in the realm of socio-environmental policies after I graduate from Columbia. On a side note, I also hope to one day to be a proud owner of the world's largest and most diverse nudibranch tank.
