About Me

A deep passion for sustainability has developed in me ever since I took Sustainability Principles and Practices class when I was a sophomore in college. With my Environmental Studies major, I have investigated different directions of sustainability about what I want to do in the future, but I was not satisfied with the options I came up with. Thirteen-year passion of tennis brought me a wonderful college athlete experience and encouraged me to minor Sport & Exercise Studies. The idea of combining sustainability and sports suddenly came to my mind when my professor mentioned the concept of “Green Sports” in my sport leadership class, and it inspires me to seek a future career in sports sustainability.

I believe the world is a community with a shared future, and all development is based on the earth environment. As industrialized world continues growing and economic benefit keeps taking over humanity, the nature environment has been damaged. Look at the fire in Amazon rainforest, melting icesheet in Arctic, extreme weathers, rising temperature, and decreasing biodiversity; this imbalance of our planet is the price we pay for our actions, but we are also the one who can lead the change. While changing individual behavior is important, greater gains can result from governments, industries, organizations, and other big communities that can lead the world move toward a sustainable future. Throughout the history, sport has brought people from all over the world together and formed a powerful community. This huge group plays a significant role in world sustainability, including environmental, social, and economic aspects.

Even though as an individual, I am still eager to spread the value of sustainability with more people who also want to contribute their power into this transformation. One of my aspirations is to make the world greener through working with sport sustainability. If you are passionate about sustainability and green sports, I share my perspectives here with you!
