Cristine showcases her love for the outdoors!

Cristine Lin is a long-time Florida native. Though she grew up in Orlando, she now resides in Gainesville to study at the University of Florida. Her major in Sustainability Studies and Political Science came from a growing concern around environmentally harmful business practices. Climate advocacy and sustainable policy soon became an interest for Cristine as she observed our culture of overconsumption, which in return led to pollution and resource scarcity.

In this semester, Cristine will be assisting in our Chapter Development team. She helps with meeting reminders, follow-ups on information sessions, and other general duties. Additionally, her and fellow Chapter Development intern, Isidora, are working to launch a CCL chapter at the University of Florida. Through CCL, Cristine hopes to gain more experience on the non-profit aspect of climate advocacy through lobbying.

Cristine dabbles in a multitude of fun hobbies. These include embroidering, up cycling, and pickleball! For the last few years, she’s had her dog, Sawyer, to keep her company. Cristine has brought all her positive energy to CCL this spring, we are happy to have her!
