**This portfolio was originally created to showcase my accomplishments within my time at the EJ semester. Since then, I have updated it with activities that span the length of my high school career and that represent all of my academic interests, both those related to environmental justice and those which are not.

Hello! My name is Eva Ko, and I am currently a junior at Laurel School for Girls located in Shaker Heights, Ohio. I joined Laurel School's Environmental Justice Semester due to my prolonged passion for both environmental issues and social justice. I have always been a student that has longed to make real change through my academic career. This drive has been one of the many propellants of my participation in the EJ semester due to the semester's action-based curriculum and substantial community involvement. Additionally, nature has remained an important and grounding force within my life that has guided my decision to join the semester. Within the semester, I have taken a special focus in understanding environmental policy as it relates to green energy and economic models for the future as well as plant-based solutions in the fields of agriculture, architecture, and more. After the semester, I am considering a pathway in environmental law, as I hope to continue the spirit of activism and change making into my future career.
