Hi! I’m an Environmental Sciences major with a minor in Geospatial Technologies from Portland, Oregon. I am a watershed educator for the Sea Grant, lead TREK trips for incoming first-year students, and am on UVM’s Varsity Cross Country & Track and Field teams. When I’m not running, you can find me skiing, hiking, hammocking, exploring swimming holes, or partaking in some other outdoor activity. I’m passionate about inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders and explorers through outdoor education! I joined the leadership team to serve as a leader and changemaker on campus while connecting with members of the Rubenstein community. Please feel free to chat or reach out with any questions about school, life, or Burlington!

Hi everyone! I’m a first-year Environmental Sciences major from Essex, Vermont. On campus, I’m also involved with Headwaters Magazine, Feel Good, and the Bananagrams Club. In my free time, I like taking fitness classes at the campus gym, reading, baking, doing puzzles, and hiking in Centennial Woods. Over the summers, you’ll find me doing more of that, maybe farming, and doing a lot of kayaking. I’m so excited to be giving back to the awesome RSENR community through SAB! If you have any questions about Rubenstein, the Patrick Leahy Honors College, Vermont, or anything else, feel free to reach out!

Hi! My name is Audrey, I am studying Environmental Sciences with a concentration in Ecological Design, and I am from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Living on the water my whole life, I learned to love nature and all it has to offer. I hope to graduate college and work on water quality issues, something that is coming to the forefront of most coastal communities, just like my hometown. While in Burlington, I enjoy hiking, going to the comedy club and farmers market, and hanging out with my friends. I love being part of the student leadership team; having a voice to represent my peers is a very important thing.
