Anya Yu-Swanson

Hello! I'm Anya and am from San Diego, California and am pursuing a double major in Environmental Studies and Geography. I am interested in plants, ecology, and conservation and studying the interactions between people and the environment. One field that I am starting to learn more about and become inspired by is sustainable agriculture and food systems. Currently, at UCSB, I intern at the REEF teaching aquarium, Your Children's Trees urban forestry nonprofit, and the Biology Greenhouses. In my free time, I like to garden and have a plot at the Green House Garden Project, go on hikes and long walks, take nature and wildlife pictures, and do art. I'm excited to explore my interests and research in environmental sciences through the FUERTE program!
