Fall 2011 EcoReps!
Carly Wertheim
Environmental Science ’14
First-year Floor: 2
Carly was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area where she developed her passion for environmental education and activism through her work with the non-profit Teens Turning Green. Obsessed with gardening, permaculture, and food, she hopes to one day have her very own sustainable farm. Carly can usually be found at the farmer’s market, is an avid hiker and aspiring chef, and spends her spare time knitting, playing the guitar and practicing yoga.
Deborah Sachare
Emily Simone
Environmental Policy ’12
First-year Floor: 4
Emily grew up in NYC, went to boarding school in Connecticut for a couple of teenage years, and studied at Boston College until her junior year, when she transferred to Barnard. In Boston, Emily was a member of Students for a Just and Stable Future, a student-led climate activism group.
Helen Kilian
Environmental Policy ’13
First-year Floor: 6
Helen grew up in a rural Massachusetts town called Harvard (informally suffixed with “No, not the University”) where she cultivated a love of environmental activism, canoeing, and apple picking. An avid Oren’s enthusiast, Helen can often be found toting a travel mug of their famous brew down Broadway. To the amusement of many friends, she never hesitates to schlep recyclables back to campus and hopes that one day New York will recycle all plastics 1-7 so she can stop being mocked.

Naomi Wasserman
Environmental Science + Political Science ’13
First-year Floors: Reid 6 + Sulz 8
Naomi grew up in the beautiful golden hills of the BAY AREA in Northern California. Whether she is running, swimming, biking, taking photos, or hiking, she always enjoys being outside. You may find her on any weekend sampling fresh produce and bread, exploring used bookstores, and collecting postcards. She has recently become an avid birder, tracker, and scatologist. (Yes, I love studying animal droppings!)
Shannon Troy
Anthropology and French ’12
Shannon loves people and adventuring on her octopus-adorned snowboard in the outdoors of her native state, Colorado. Adventures also include jaunts to local farmers markets and other homegrown businesses to promote consumer cultures with low fossil fuel usage. Focusing on the small choices that make a difference in personal, local and global environments, Shannon enjoys unplugging appliances, wearing vintage clothes, cooking with seasonal ingredients and convincing her friends to go veg. Incorporate green into your life – it flatters every figure!
Sophie Hyson
Environmental Biology ’12
First-year Floor: 3
Sophie grew up in North Florida, climbing trees and jumping into sinkholes, as there wasn’t much else to do. Now she has fallen in love with New York City and all it’s activity- especially the amazing green parts! She enjoys guzzling coffee in the neighborhood coffee shops, growing squash on her windowsill, yoga, experimental baking, picnicking in central park, and apple cider donuts from the farmers market!
Anne Brink – abroad 2011-2012
English ’13
Anne grew up in Minnesota, where she frequently stole long weekends hiking along Superior’s north shore with her family. While home, she enjoys kayaking and walking around South Minneapolis, and playing with her Aussie Shepherd, Luna. Since kayaking is not an option at Barnard, Anne spends most of her time walking around Riverside Park, writing, drawing, going to yoga, and drinking soy mochas at Whole Foods.
