policy making , natural resource preservation , toxicology , computer modeling , public health , or even national security . There are just so many options . My best advice is to explore the options and pursue what grabs your attention the most !"

What drew me into this field was my understanding that the environment in all communities is not protected equally . Often in places where brown and black people and low-income people live , there is unequal protection of the air , the water , the natural resources , and the built environment . When I learned that , I decided that I wanted to do something about it .
