Meet the class of 2029’s Izzy Chick! Ìý

What inspired you to Pursue a law degree?Ìý

IC: My desire to pursue a law degree stems from my passion for water conservation. This passion is rooted in my connection to Campo, CO, a community completely dependent on groundwater that is expected to run dry within the next 50 years. An internship with a carbon credit project firm in Bogotá, Colombia opened my eyes to different economic and legal tools that could be used to incentivize water conservation in areas like Campo. After law school, I hope to work on water rights transactions that support a more secure water future.Ìý
