Mia Forsline
As a Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist, I was raised to respect and be curious about the natural world. My passion for the environment led me to earn a B.A. of Biology (with an Environmental Science emphasis) at Occidental College in Los Angeles, CA, where I graduated in 2021. For three years at Occidental, I conducted computational biology research to investigate how the urban heat island impacts local salamander populations. To pursue my environmental and computational interests, I am currently completing a Master of Environmental Data Science at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara.
