They/Them/Theirs
Ash Austin is a fourth year and is majoring in Biology with an emphasis in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and currently minoring in GIS. They hope to utilize both skills in research of wildlife and especially in the conservation of endangered or sensitive species. They would like to pursue a post-graduate degree after finishing their undergrad at UNC. Ash has been with LEAF since the Spring of 2021 and hopes to engage the UNC community in furthering education and discussions about environmental sustainability and conservation. Outside of classes or LEAF, you will probably find Ash in the library, rollerblading at a park, or walking barefoot where they shouldn't be.
