I was invited as a guest speaker to Principles of Sustainability (ESRM 300), a class at the University of Washington taught by Professor Lisa Graumlich. I spoke to students about the work I was doing with the CESA club on campus, as well as how computing can impact the fields of environmental and social advocacy.

University of North Carolina, Charlotte
In this TEDx speech to faculty and students at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, I lay out a novel 3-point foreign policy proposal and the foundations of an international agreement to combat plastic pollution.
Many of my proposals coincided with the positions adopted by the countries at the UN Nairobi Conference a few years later.
