emilymenz1@gmail.comI am so thankful for the opportunities that UW and the Honors program have given me over the last four years. I was lucky enough to study abroad three times on three different continents, all focused on examining environmental problems in these unique regions of the world: Iceland, Peru, and China. I participated in our spirited culture by playing trombone in the Husky Marching Band and as a team member of the UW Women's Club Soccer team. I have lived in the dorms, in the Greek Community, and off-campus. I will soon graduate with two degrees. And all of this has led me to my next step - moving to London this fall to attend the London School of Economics and pursue my MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change. I am looking forward to dedicating my career toward finding systemic economic and business solutions to environmental problems.
