Noah currently calls Gaithersburg, Maryland home, although he has lived in six states. Moving around so frequently exposed him to many new people and environments, triggering his interest in regional and federal environmental policies. As an undergraduate, he focused on environmental policy but became increasingly interested in environmental justice through various internships, courses, and study abroad. Noah graduated from the University of Maryland in 2023 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Environmental Science and Policy, with a focus on Politics and Policy. Noah chose the MS-ESM program due to its focused blend of environmental, sustainability, business, data, and management courses that will allow him to pursue a career focused on instituting equitable environmental solutions.
