Welcoming new Policy Intern Donna!

Hello everyone! My name is Donna, and I will be working at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay as an environmental policy intern for the Fall. I come all the way from Los Angeles, California, and I am a senior at Boston University studying for my B.S. in Health Science. While growing up along the Pacific Coast, I have constantly been surrounded by the ocean and its neighboring natural beauties. I have witnessed the increase in pollution in the ocean and beaches, and I have participated in various clean-ups surrounding the coast.

After moving to Boston for school, I began to dive deeper into problems and solutions surrounding environmental policy and health. My experience varies from my research on the water quality of the Charles River to campaign organization at the Environmental Voter Project, also located in Boston. After graduation, I hope to pursue graduate school for Environmental Health and Policy. I look forward to familiarizing myself with the various communities and beaches surrounding Boston while also participating in projects held by Save the Harbor!
