Louise

I am a research associate at an environmental think tank, SustainUS Media Relations Coordinator, the CCAN DC outreach coordinator, and bicycle enthusiast!

I spent a year and a half living in Beijing, China, which gave me a smoker’s cough, as well as time to reflect on why the environment was important to me. The smoker’s cough is thankfully gone, but I returned to the States much more appreciative of the outdoors, blue skies, and freedom of speech and assembly.
