Alex is a junior at Berkeley studying Political Science and Public Policy. He credits his interest in sustainable development to growing up in South Florida where he developed a love for the natural world. He has worked on several political campaigns in Miami and as a debate coach, and last summer worked at green nanotech company Metalchemy. At school he is a consultant at the Association for Socially Responsible Business, a writer at the Berkeley Political Review, and in the Hang Gliding Club. He likes going on hikes in the wilderness and spending time with friends in his free time.
