I chose Western because I wanted to learn about sustainability and the environment, and I knew Huxley was the best place to do this.
Biography
About me
Outside of school, I love hiking, cycling, baking vegan goods, hanging out with family and friends, and watching documentaries. My favorite trail to hike in Bellingham is Samish Overlook. Every time I go there someone is always paragliding or hang gliding off the top!
Career plans
My future career plans as of now are just to find a job that helps make a difference and works to better our world. Ideally, I'd enjoy something in promoting sustainable food systems and working towards making America healthier.
Why I chose Western
