Hi friends I'm Peyton and am a second year Environmental Studies and Geography (GIS emphasis) double major! As the incoming co-chapter director, I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to lead our dedicated, bubbly, and passionate volunteers here in Santa Barbara. I hope to continue expanding our chapter and get as many UCSB students interested as possible! Through Sprout Up, I have learned that one day I want to start my own business creating environmental children's books :)
Hi, I'm Taylor and am a fourth-year Environmental Studies major at UC Santa Barbara. This is my fourth year being a part of Sprout Up and can't wait to continue to be a part of this special community. I love to watch our students grow and enjoy their time learning about the environment, while occasionally teaching me new things! Outside of Sprout Up, I love to hike, run, rock climb, and enjoy the outdoors.
Hi everyone! My name's Christian and I am a third-year double majoring in Environmental Studies and Economics at UCSB. I chose to be a part of Sprout Up because I believe teaching a new generation about the importance of nature is the key to solving environmental problems. I also just love working with kids and being in the classroom! Outside of Sprout Up, I love taking walks to the beach, watching sunsets, and making friendship bracelets.
My name is Evan, I am a third year here at UCSB, and it is also my third year with Sprout Up! I am pursuing a B.S. in Environmental Studies, and I have placed my concentration in Geography, where I hope to expand my understanding of atmospheric sciences. It is important to me that the students do not just understand our lessons on environmentalism, but that they get excited and passionate about it. I love working in classrooms as an educator, but when I am not doing that, you can probably find me at the cliffs watching the sunset or trying out a new recipe in my kitchen.
Hi! I'm Jackie and I am a third year Environmental Studies and Economics major! As Social Media Manager and Co-Community Manager for Sprout Up, I help to facilitate community engagement and expand local connections. Being a part of the organization has been so rewarding and I cannot wait to continue my involvement with the club! In my free time, I love relaxing at the beach, painting, going to concerts, taking new classes (hot yoga, cooking, etc.), and spending time with family and friends.
Hi! I am Jaelee and currently a third year biology major here at UCSB, minoring in psychology! This is my second year apart of Sprout Up and I have enjoyed every second of it! Being able to make a difference in kids lives and how they view the environment has been so fulfilling. When I am not shopping for materials or inside of the library you can find me scuba diving, walking the bluffs, or somewhere with a dog!
