Hi! My name is Addyson Rowe. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and am now entering my senior year at Duke University. I have always had a passion for the environment and social justice, so I decided to focus my undergrad studies on environmental justice! I'm also studying education and Spanish alongside this. I'm hoping to pursue a career in environmental law so I can hold the government and companies accountable for their mistreatment of marginalized communities. I love spreading awareness for these issues through art, music, and educational curriculum, and I am excited for the opportunity to work on it in a new way with BREDL this summer!
