Her focus right now is exposing linkages between people’s actions and the world around them while connecting them to solutions through SYC campaigns such as the BET and programs such as Sustainable Campuses.

"I have gotten so much out of this JAM! The lessons I have learned I will carry for a long time and it will fundamentally change the work I do and direction I am going. I am empowered by the unbelievable people around me and will carry that inspiration into my work."
