The sounds of the breaking glacier echoed across the Fjords. It served as a reminder of the havoc climate change will unleash if we do not start holding everyone accountable. Although the images of change can be awe-inspiring, the reality is much more startling. I want a world where the natural resources are protected, and we unite to fight the misinformation, conspiracy theories, and climate criminals to protect, adapt to, and mitigate the impacts of climate change so that the future generations can admire the same views we have been blessed with.

Environmental Studies Communication Strategy

I was awarded the Randolph G-Pack fellowship and in collaboration with two of my fellow graduate students, we developed a strategic communication plan for the Department of Environmental Studies at SUNY ESF. It also included communication, message, and design templates for social media posts. The plan may be made available with permission from the department.

Graduate Students Support Guide

After identifying certain needs of graduate students not being fulfilled at ESF, I decided to create a short guide for them as a support tool that they may use or refer to if need arises. It started off as an independent personal project after I hosted backyard fire get togethers during the pandemic to have a physically distanced space to gather and have individual and group conversations.

ESF Career Services Marketing Materials

I also worked with the ESF Career Services to create marketing and design materials for their office which included reports, infographics, and templates.
