About Marion

Hi there! I'm Marion and I'm a third-year Anthropology and Environmental Studies major from Lexington, Massachusetts. My academic interests lie in sustainable development and my extracurricular interests include improving local food systems.

SEED House is a forum for empowering students to pursue the projects that they feel will help the student body edge closer to a more sustainable lifestyle. I am passionate about living simply and about showing my peers how pleasant this can be. SEED-centric projects that I would like to be involved in include planning a new garden, studying the house's waste streams, and sharing what we learn with other sustainability-minded students on campus.

In addition to classes and SEED, I am a member of Fairchild Coop, the Green EDGE Fund board, and a Compost Coordinator for Kahn Hall.
