About
Hi! My name is Liyana and I am from Long Island, New York. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology at New York University on the pre-law track, with hopes of working in environmental law in the future. I have a deep passion for environmental awareness and am especially interested in how advocacy, education, and policy can create change. I am excited to contribute to Restored Lands and protect our environment for future generations!
