Climate change is the most pressing issue of our times.
And we all can do something about it. After working in tech for ten years, I grew dissatisfied with the lack of urgency about the climate crisis. Here are some of the ways I am taking action.
Bellevue College
Office of Sustainability
Sustainability is in full force at Bellevue College. As the Outreach Coordinator, I organized events to engage with students and spark conversations around waste reduction, decarbonization, and sustainable living.
Coordinated Earth Month 2025 event series
Advocated for Carbon Labeling on campus food service menus
Introduced the college’s first soap refill station, now a recurring offering
Soapbox Project
The world’s most joyful climate community
Standing in solidarity together and forming community is what’s needed to solve big problems. What happens when a weekly plant-based dinner with strangers meets climate anxiety? Soapbox is a place to make friends, learn, and take action on climate change and sustainability. I’m delighted to be a volunteer and active participant in building this nonprofit.
NOT FOR SALE
Some friends and I co-hosted an anti-fashion show. Rather than engender a sense of lack and longing, Not For Sale emphasizes the value and history of the clothing you already own. We invited a group of local fashionistas to dress their best with what’s in their closet, and tell the story of those pieces.
