TESI Environmental Communicator
Fall 2022 – present
Patricia Escobar-Torres is an undergraduate transfer student studying environmental science. Hailing from Puerto Rico, her goal is to become a good role model for other young Latinas entering science education. As for the future, Patricia is working toward being at the forefront of climate research and advocacy, while still being able to dabble in her other interests — marine biology, sustainable agriculture, and environmental education. She hopes to find a way to marry her various interests and help educate others about the importance of interdisciplinarity. Her time at TESI will be spent gathering the tools she needs to be a good Earth dweller and learning how to share her love for our planet.
