NYC
My name is Jillian Samowitz. I am a Honors student at the University of Florida pursuing a B.A. in Sustainability Studies on a pre-law track.
My interest in the environment stemmed from an appreciation of the natural world instilled in me by my parents, but my call to action was the catastrophic event known as the Gulf Oil Spill of 2010. This experienced challenged me to become an activist to challenge my local community of Golden Beach, Florida to do better by the environment.

Drawing has always been a hobby of mine, but more recently I have found it to be a useful tool in helping to spread messages in regards to my work with Proseed2Green as well as with my own personal marketing. I am proficient in programs like Adobe Photoshop and Flash and am always eager to learn more. I have dabbled in ZBrush and Blender in my spare time.
