My name is Mariah Leggett, and I’m from Atwater, California. I’m currently a History major, but I plan on switching to Biology with the goal of going into education, and eventually working in district administration. I’ve always been passionate about helping others learn and grow, and I hope to one day make a positive impact in the education system. In my free time, I enjoy baking, hiking, and especially playing tennis.
At UCSB, I’m excited to gain new knowledge, meet new people, and continue growing as a student and a person. I’m truly grateful to be part of the Yardi Environmental Justice Program, and I look forward to learning more about the environment, how it affects our communities, and what we can do to create meaningful change. I hope this program helps me explore my interests and supports me in building a strong foundation for my future career.
