Shelby Negosian, born on Earth Day, has always had a natural connection with the environment. She has always found herself channeling this innate connection as a driving force to fight against climate change.
Shelby’s Cavapoo Lilo!
Shelby grew up in LA, but now lives in St Louis where she is a rising junior at Washington University majoring in Environmental Analysis and minoring in Legal Studies and Geospatial Science
This summer Shelby is a Chapter Development intern with CCL. Her work revolves around understanding the different chapters and how she can best support their advancement. She is also working on a passion project to teach her community about CCL, centering around the Ag and Forestry action team to get WashU students involved with urban forestry efforts.
Shelby is also aiming to complete the Climate Advocacy Certification Program this summer and learn more about how she can contribute to climate advocacy efforts.
Shelby is a young woman of many hobbies who loves to sew, read, and journal. In addition to playing recreational softball she enjoys designing her own clothes and dressing up. In fact Shelby started a non-profit called Sharing With a Purpose (SWAP). SWAP is a free second-hand store on Washington University in St. Louis’ campus with clothes, appliances, and more, supplied by community donations.
Shelby is also a big fan of the Fantastic Mr. Fox, Queen’s Gambit, and Pride and Prejudice. We are pleased to have someone like Shelby on the CCL team this summer using her innovation and passion for the climate for good.
