eva first began contributing to planet forward in her sophomore year of college. in the midst of the pandemic, pf helped her realize the value of digital storytelling for advocacy and self-expression. planet forward has also inspired her to explore lifelong curiosities and how others see the world.
eva has contributed to environmental justice initiatives in vieques, puerto, and el paso, texas, among other places. in september 2022, she had the incredible privilege to travel to mcginley ranch in nebraska, with other members of planet forward to learn about regenerative bison ranching, and keystone species conservation.
throughout her time at school, eva has chosen work and academic opportunities to diversify her education. she has worked in environmental finance and consulting; recycling, reuse, and reduction; natural resources law; and diversity, equity, and inclusion. after graduating from suny esf, eva will continue to be an environmental storyteller while exploring different facets of environmentalism.
