As told to Shelby Gonzalez, CHE Administrative Coordinator

When I was in second grade, we did a project where we were asked the question "If you found a money tree, what would you do?" My answer, in big block letters: "I would give it to the government so they could help people."

The theme of helping people came up again in a conversation with my father after a high school trip to Washington, D.C. I was completely moved by the passion and energy of those working in the public’s interest. I told him that I wanted to do the same and work on environmental issues.
