Hope Barton, a sophomore double majoring in natural resources and public management & policy at the University of Arizona, is deeply committed to environmental policy with a focus on rural communities. In a recent Q&A, Barton reflects on her journey from environmental science to policy and how her experiences growing up in a small town in Oklahoma, where she saw how environmental challenges impact agriculture and livelihoods, have shaped her mission to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities. "Environmental issues aren't abstract concepts to me; they're the lived experiences of people I know and care about," she said. "I want to make sure those most impacted by environmental harm have a seat at the table."
