Amanda Bertsch, Housing and
Dining Task Force
Amanda hails from Michigan and can claim “champion figure skater” on her resume, so cold weather is no stranger to her. She is currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering, and is considering adding Chinese as a minor. She keeps up with her skating here in Baltimore, and hopes to bring a figure skating student group to Hopkins. As for us, we can’t wait to see the triple lutzes she pulls in advancing sustainability on campus.

Anup Regunathan, Green Roof
Task Force
Originally from the Princeton area of
New Jersey, Anup is currently considering becoming a neuroscience major. Anup
has lived part of his life in India, and he enjoys playing music from his
native home on the violin. In high school he volunteered with the Stony
Brook-Millstone Watershed Association on a Chemical Action Team. As a field researcher, Anup would
assess the nature of the water by performing some qualitative experiments such
as observing and recording the algal bloom index, aquatic vegetation index,
erosion of bank, water level, odor, color, and floating materials. Hopkins
material, right? You can also find him with JHU’s classical music group,
Surageet. Listen for his dulcet tones and look for the big changes he’s sure to
bring to campus.
Cara Schulte, Fraternity
Recycling Task Force
In Cara’s own words: I love lightning and my socks never match. That kind of brute honesty and quirkiness made Cara an ideal pick to serve as ECO-Rep. She is currently leaning toward Writing Seminars and either Cognitive Science or Public Health as her major, but her varied interests have her exploring various avenues during this early time in her college career. Some of those interests include photography, math, travel, recycling, and running (she just ran the 2012 Baltimore Marathon), but she’s also spent time working as a deckhand on a schooner and conducting research in oceanography and marine sciences, interning in a molecular biology lab conducting malaria research at NYU Langone Medical Center, and is a tour guide here at Hopkins. Phew! All incredible steps toward her dream of working for National Geographic and spreading her passion for the environment and sustainability.

Eli Wallach, Fraternity
Recycling Task Force
Eli Wallach is planning on double
majoring in International Studies or Public Health, and Global Environmental
Change and Sustainability, with a minor in Economics. While he considers his
interests diverse, he acknowledges many of them fall within the realms of
social and political activism and environmental advocacy. Teaming up with the
Office of Sustainability sounds like a pretty spot on move, huh? His time in
high school was largely marked with school leadership and mock legislative
programs, when he wasn’t pursuing his passion for exploring. Eli carpe diem-ed
whenever he got the opportunity -be it in his backyard or across the globe. Eli
is also a member of Jaywalk, Johns Hopkins' contemporary jazz and lyrical dance
group.
Jesse Chen, Housing and
Dining Task Force
Jesse is a freshman from Princeton, NJ who is planning
to major in Writing Seminars, with minors in French and Museums & Society,
and a certificate in Comparative Racial Politics. Her hobbies include reading,
dance, photography, and volunteering. At Hopkins, Jesse is involved in Students
for Environmental Action, JHU Taiwanese American Students Association, the
Inter-Asian Council, the JHUMUNC operations staff, and the HopMUN team, as well
as working part-time job at the Charles Village Starbucks. One day, Jesse hopes
to become a novelist living in Greenwich Village with ten dogs, four cats, and
her best friends.
Julia Adams, Fraternity
Recycling
A native New Yorker, Julia has considered herself an environmentalist since day one. Her time in high school was characterized by playing active roles in her school's environmental club and gardening program. Here at Johns Hopkins, she plans to double major in Public Health and Global Environmental Change and Sustainability, and spends time outside of class and ECO-Reps with Real Food Hopkins and the Hop-Help tutoring program.

Kathryn Rees, Fraternity
Recycling
Due to her interests in food security and water
pollution, Kathryn is a double major in Global Environmental Change and
Sustainability and Public Health. She’s also gifted with her feet: as a member of
Jaywalk, Johns Hopkins' contemporary jazz and lyrical dance group, Kathryn displays
her range of other skills outside saving the planet.
Maddie Goodman, Housing and
Dining Task Force
Maddie Goodman calls Omaha, Nebraska home, though
she’s making every effort to settle into Baltimore. In addition to being an
ECO-Rep, she is also involved with Outdoor Pursuits – an experiential education
program out of the Recreation Center - training to be a Sea Kayaking trip
leader. She hopes to declare as a Molecular and Cellular Biology major, while making
lasting changes to how Hopkins approaches sustainability in the meantime.
Mengli Shi, Green Roof Task
Force
Mengli Shi joins the Johns Hopkins
family from Massachusetts, and is currently studying Environmental Engineering.
She loves traveling and immersing herself in nature, books, music, movies and
photography, and simply likes being active by running and playing tennis. She
believes that people can and should live sustainably with the world without
harming the environment. In the future, she hopes to continue to work at
protecting the environment as well as become a veterinarian.
Noah Erwin, Housing and
Dining Task Force
Noah, a native of Tennessee, plans to major in Global Environmental Change and Sustainability. In addition to his ECO-Rep duties, he is also involved with Real Food Hopkins, a student-run chapter of the national Real Food Challenge movement committed to bringing local, sustainable, humane, and fair food to the Johns Hopkins campus. Noah also likes to kick things when he’s not toiling away at saving the environment, but he mostly keeps it to soccer balls, but we do expect he’ll kick some sustainability butt during his time at Johns Hopkins.

Olivia Seideman, Green Roof
Task Force
Olivia joins the Hopkins family from
the other coastline. A California native, she’s began her college career
studying environmental science. She is particularly
interested in agriculture and its relationship with the environment based on
geographical location, and specifically in opportunities in urban environments.
With all the movement around greening Baltimore and urban farming in Charm
City, we hope she puts her passion into practice right in our backyard. You
know, when she’s crossed making Johns Hopkins the greenest school around off
her list.
Stephanie Irwin, Housing and
Dining Task Force
Stephanie hails from Austin, Texas, where the
Longhorns reign supreme and sustainability has caught on well. She’s majoring
in Material Science and Engineering, and looks forward to turning her
long-standing interest and exposure to sustainability into tangible impacts to
her university of choice. She once went a day only eating peanut butter to win
a bet, so we think she has the brawn for iron-fisting some big time green
change at JHU. Trevor Holmgren, Fraternity Recycling Task Force
Spending time in the California Sierras and regularly running or biking through the amazing surroundings like Yosemite fueled Trevor’s interest in environmental issues. In high school Trevor started actively promoting sustainability efforts as president of the Environmental Science & Engineering Club. During the summers, he worked with student teams at UC Berkeley to design sustainable communities and propose changes to Climate Action Plans. Expanding his interest, he also helped design fuel-efficient train doors at an internship in Idaho. So it’s no surprise that here at Hopkins he is studying mechanical engineering with minors in sustainability and business entrepreneurship. Trevor is excited to be part of Hopkins and to work with others from diverse fields to make a difference. If you can’t find him with the ECO Reps, he is probably training with the Hopkins Track Team.
