Have millennials become the generation of silence? This talk follows the journey of one millennial who left the confines of media normalcy and chased one of the most controversial yet definite issues of our time…environmental science. 

Gabby is a current University of South Florida, St. Petersburg undergraduate looking to graduate in May with a degree in Environmental Science and Policy. She grew up in Michigan deeply rooted in the environment and all it had to offer. She relocated to St. Petersburg in 2013 with the intentions of earning an education and pushing forward progress in Sustainability. Currently she is the Project and Proposal Manager of the University’s Student Green Energy Fund, Sustainability Advisor on the University’s Capital Improvements Trust Fund, Licensed Environmental Consultant and an active member of a research committee on behalf of the University with The City and DUKE Energy to ensure the most positive transition to sustainable functionality within her community. After graduation, she plans on continuing what she has begun in St. Petersburg and beyond.
