CLARISSA

I'm Clarissa, a student and creative based between Los Angeles and Merced, California. Currently, I am a second year Environmental Studies student at the University of California. During my first year, I experimented academically by taking classes throughout various departments, being involved in design, business, and public relations before settling on Environmental Studies. Growing up in one of the most agriculturally dense areas in the country, and being additionally between the Northern California coastline and Yosemite National Park, ultimately cemented my love for nature and its conservation over other disciplines. Despite my final choice, I wholeheartedly believe my experience across fields provides me with a wider world view that can afford me multiple skills applicable in any professional setting.
