Personal Mission Statement

My name is Kirsten-Charmaine Cardozo, and I am a 4th-year undergraduate at California State University, Monterey Bay. I am majoring in Environmental Studies, concentrating in Sustainable Communities and minoring in Environmental Science. Growing up hiking, going to the beach, and travelling the world, I have developed a strong appreciation and connection to nature. My experiences with wildlife monitoring and fog-water research have strengthened my interest in finding practical solutions to environmental challenges worldwide.

My mission is to use education to promote sustainable practices, environmental awareness, and support healthier communities to protect the natural world for generations to come.
