"I am extremely excited to serve as a Sustainability Representative this year and help make campus a little greener! Growing up in Hawai'i, the environment has always been an integral part of my life, and I can't wait to represent our North Campus residents and share my passion with all of you. By working together with the other Sustainability Representatives and the campus staff (especially the CEJS), I am confident that we will be able to plan awesome events and make change for our students, staff, community, and, of course, the environment!"
