Description

Hi! I am a graduate student at Sciences Po Paris studying environmental policy, where I am particularly interested in political ecology, water policy, and sustainable agriculture. I grew up in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina in the United States, and love all things outdoors. I have also lived in Ethiopia and Uganda, and of course currently study in Paris. Apart from enjoying running around in the forest, I am a passionate football (soccer) fan, love reading and listening to music, and am a regular gym-goer (in case you need help moving anything heavy). I admit that urban life in Paris has worn me down a little, and I'm excited to spend some time immersed in the French countryside.
