In June 2020, my teacher’s suggestion to script a podcast for a summer project sparked an unforeseen adventure—'Rule Of The Bark.' This podcast, narrated from a dog’s perspective, aims to humorously guide humans in raising their canine companions. While it’s filled with laughter and practical tips, I always advise consulting a professional vet before following any doggy advice on the podcast!
Zooming ahead to December 2021, my interest took a serious turn toward climate change. This led to 'We The Children,' where, at 12 years old, I dive into climate discussions and solutions from a youthful viewpoint. The podcast illuminates how kids like me care deeply about Earth's future and our actions' pivotal role in shaping a sustainable planet.
With tremendous support, 'We The Children' garnered over 300K downloads last season. We’ve welcomed esteemed guests like glaciologist Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, environmentalist Ryan Hickman of Ryan’s Recycling, and author Heather White. Our show maintains a blend of fun and accessibility while addressing crucial environmental challenges and brainstorming solutions, big and small. Each episode wraps up with a practical 'Action Step of the Week' for busy families to join in.
In the summer of 2023, I was honored to join an Australian Radio Station as a US Ambassador, engaging in enlightening interviews on Funky Kids Radio. Additionally, I’ve taken up speaking engagements at schools and clubs, advocating for the environment, recycling, and composting among kids. Reach out for more information on these initiatives!
