“The first step to addressing the climate crisis is to understand the extent of the issue. Speaking out about it is the most obvious way to help everyone get on the same page.”
Mahima was born in Bengal and moved to NYC with her parents when she was two years old. She is passionate about progressing the planet towards a more sustainable future and hopes to go into research relating to sustainable engineering or human-environmental interactions. Mahima enjoys painting, especially with gouache, and crocheting.
