During high school I was a co-president of the Envirolution club which aimed to raise environmental awareness through "trashion" shows, assemblies and classroom mentoring by calling audience members to action on environmental issues in their community. I also completed a ten week research project looking at the effect of utility poles on local plant life, and presented my findings to other student researchers and community leaders.
