My name is Katarina Baumgart and I am going into my first year at UCLA. In my free time, I love to read, watch films, bake, and spend time enjoying nature. My interests in sustainability and conservation have inspired me to major in Environmental Science. Along with dedicating my energy to learning, I look forward to engaging in the clubs, internships, and community that university has to offer. I have been spending my summer with friends and family, while also learning introductory Python through Girls Who Code. I cannot wait to see where the future takes me, the connections I will build, and the places I will experience. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
