Emily Tran

Emily Tran is a sophomore majoring in environmental engineering.  Growing up in San Diego, California, she enjoyed mountain biking in the chaparral, playing classical violin, and spending time with her brother, two cats, and extensive multilingual family.  She completed internships with the City of San Diego Stormwater Department's Environmental Permitting and Planning Group, where she built fluency in environmental legislation and mitigation practices, and with the University of Arizona's CATalyst Studios, where she learned how to use fabrication technologies such as 3D printing.  Emily is interested in the interactions between art - particularly music - and people's relationships with their natural and built environments.  She hopes to become more involved in local organizations focused on mutual aid, increasing bikeability and walkability, and social and environmental justice in general.
