Fellow Bio:
Priscilla (she/her) is a recent summa cum laude graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she graduated with a B.A. in Geography/Environmental Studies. Living in a low-income community of color in Northeast Los Angeles, she was exposed to environmental injustices such as high levels of air pollution and consequently developed a passion for environmental justice. Her work on environmental justice has formed her belief that sustainability efforts must integrate community engagement and support climate resilience, social equity, and economic prosperity for all communities. Priscilla is excited to pursue her passions for environmental justice and community engagement by serving with the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
