Executive Team

The Faces Behind the Movement

We are a growing organization—numerous youth volunteers, 3 mentors, 4 partnerships, and 45+ member schools strong—and work collaboratively to advocate for sustainable paper consumption in the academic setting. Oftentimes, change starts local, and although ASF may have started small, we have faith it will unfurl into a nationwide environmental initiative with the support and exposure it needs, ultimately serving 98,577 public education institutions in the US.

Carolyn is an individual who has always been fascinated by the intersection between data and the world she lives in. After taking her first data science course in her freshman year of high school, Carolyn has been searching for ways to apply her newfound passion for statistics, whether it's through conducting research with college professors or running her environmental nonprofit, A Sustainable Future. In the meantime, she can likely be found reading, eating, or poorly singing Taylor Swift in the backseat of her friend's car.
