Saliyha Webb joins the DIG team as a Public Ally and works as the special programs coordinator assisting with the Green Schools Challenge curriculum and the expansion of the program to new schools; creating outreach and environmental literacy messages; and conducting presentations and participating in community events.
Saliyha is a graduate of University of Notre Dame where she received a Bachelor’s in Anthropology with a particular focus on the subfield of Biological Anthropology. Her internship with Bowman Creek Educational Ecosystem allowed her to understand the positive impact of sustainable development, specifically for the underrepresented low-income areas. While Saliyha’s love for learning and enthusiasm for novel experiences has allowed her to wear many different hats, her passion for environmental issues, environmental equity, preservation and conservation has been her driving force. Through this experience, she hopes to learn more about the non-profit sector and environmental stewardship.
