About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living and enjoying life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I live in Eugene, Oregon and work with a non-profit on climate change litigation to hold governments responsible for curbing carbon dioxide emissions on behalf of children and future generations. I finished law school in 2013. Before law school, I lived in Austin and advocated for sustainable energy policies for Texas. Before that, I lived in Budapest, Hungary for a year earning my masters in international public policy. I love getting to know other cultures and meeting people from all over!

PHILOSOPHY

this too will change....
