Meet Skyline High’s Earth Team

Irma Mendoza

I’m in tenth grade and it’s my second year on Earth Team. I joined because I wanted to learn more about environmental issues and how to help. I want to work in the medical field but I’m still very passionate about environmental sciences.

Lena Anderson

Hi, my name is Lena and I’m a junior at Skyline. I joined Earth Team because I’m passionate about environmental science and wanted to get some hands-on experience. Outside of school, I’m a goalie on an ice hockey team and spend a lot of time painting.

Makayla Connelly

I’m a senior at Skyline High school. I joined Earth Team because I’ve been interested in a scientific career my whole life (entomology), and this internship gives me an opportunity to experience what that will be like. It’s helped me gain more connections to people, from classmates to scientists, and what I learn with Earth Team also connects to my studies in my classes. Most importantly, it helped reinforce my knowledge of the importance of environmental stewardship and conscientiousness, something that’s important to remember when combating climate change. Besides science and Earth Team, I am an artist who loves creating characters and storylines!
