About Me

Hi! My name is Catherine Adams, and I’m currently a second year Eminence Fellow majoring in Social and Environmental Geography and Environmental Policy and Decision Making with minors in Creative Writing and GIS.

I’m passionate about environmental justice and equity, and much of my work on campus and off is centered around creating a more just and green world. I am the Creative Director of Ohio Youth for Climate Justice (OHYCJ), a youth-led organization fighting for climate justice across the state of Ohio.

I was lucky to spend the summer of 2022 at CU Boulder, where I worked on creative climate communication as an intern for Inside the Greenhouse. I also worked to connect scientists, policymakers, and constituents for better environmental policies as an intern for Colorado Local Science Engagement Network.

In my free time, I like writing poetry, playing soccer, and reading.
