Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
About me: I'm an Environmental Studies major with minors in Urban Ecological Design, Urban Design & Planning, and Data Science - it all started with a passion for Geography out of High School. I'm an international student from Brazil and participated in two study abroad programs at UW, so I had many opportunities to explore the nature (both literally and figuratively!) of the world. My work includes spatial analysis, community engagement, project coordination, and policy overview. I'm graduating this Spring and want to pursue a career in climate resilience planning and hazard mitigation, which are the themes of my capstone.
