Intern Spotlight: Horace Mo

Horace loves visiting natural landmarks!

Horace Mo is a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, earning his B.A. in Environmental Studies. He is currently working as an Environmental Specialist for Senior Advocates for Generational Equity (SAGE), a non-profit based in Portland, Oregon. Horace has always had a passion for nature and the environment; when he was a kid, he traveled with his parents to a lot of nature reserves, including Tibet, Xinjiang in China. Further down the line, he got to see the Northern Lights in Alaska and Mount Fuji in Japan, and he never takes for granted the beautiful scenes that the planet offers us. His love for nature and passion for sustainability are what drew him to climate advocacy.

Horace is one of our interns for Citizens’ Climate Radio, and he is responsible for helping the team produce our monthly Citizens’ Climate Radio podcast episodes, editing scripts, and interviewing guest speakers. Through this role at CCL, Horace hopes to learn more about podcast production, especially the storytelling format of writing scripts, along with honing his speaking skills and tricks for podcasting. Working with Citizens’ Climate Radio allows him to vocalize his passions and learn more about climate advocacy from the people around him.

In his free time, Horace loves to play the Guzheng, which he is very talented at! He is also an avid bodybuilder, swimmer, and loves to cook. While he’s working out, he loves to listen to J Cole, Michael Jackson, and Wiz Khalifa. Horace is a genuine person who hopes more people around him notice the importance that individual actions play in addressing climate change, and he is hopeful that his efforts can exemplify that there is a community for individuals to scale up their actions and not feel alone while doing so.
