Howdy!
I’m a rising senior from Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve been mesmerized by the natural beauty of wildlife. Inevitably, protecting wildlife has always been close to my heart. My passion for protecting the environment has led me to investigate ecological solutions, particularly at the intersection between mankind and nature. I love the iterative process of creating environmental solutions and problem-solving, which I hope to continue in college and beyond.
I'm currently researching AI/IoT solutions in the field, developing computational biology solutions relating to our microbiome, speaking about conservation tech, and nurturing environmental changemakers towards creating the next wave of change for a cleaner and greener future for our planet!
I also love playing tennis, skiing, hiking in my beautiful state of Oregon, and game-development! (check out Getting Scrappy :P)
Peace,
Alan
