Marissa McKoy

I was born in Pennsylvania to parents Ray and Pat McKoy. Along with older sister T'Lia and younger brother Elijah, I was raised in Rome, Georgia. My educational career began at an elementary Montessori school, then attended Darlington School where I would then decide to further my education at The University of Georgia. Beginning at age eighteen, majoring in environmental economics and management, I aspire to be an environmental lawyer someday. My favorite hobby is international travelling. Through travel, I have been able to learn more about different types of people from various backgrounds. To me, it is very important to better myself to the best of my ability in all that I do which is achieved through this form of exploration. From travelling, I have gained knowledge about many different topics that set me apart from others. I pride myself in having the ability to be openminded towards different ideas, lifestyles, religions, and cultures. With this strength I hope to better communicate with others and leave an impact on those proposing environmental legislature in the future.
