Meet the BGI Leadership Team

Anna Hampton
President
Natural Resources and Environmental Science (major), Political Science (major)
I became passionate about the environment in high school though my research and environmentally focused community service. I want to make a difference and hope to be able to do so by pursing a career as an Environmental Lawyer. I joined BGI because it allows me be involved on campus and promote sustainability. It is rewarding knowing that the projects we complete have a positive impact on a campus and in the community.

One day I was getting a haircut and had a conversation with my stylist about what I wanted to do when I grew up. I told her that I didn’t know and she said that she always recommends to people that they find a career helping the environment. From that point on, for whatever reason, I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to sustainability.

Macy Wohlford
Treasurer
Industrial Engineering (major), Women's Studies (minor)
What got me into sustainability to begin with was wanting to learn about low carbon footprint foods. I've always been interested in how America's food systems are currently set up in a way that encourages unhealthiness and waste, and I always wanted to change that. I joined BGI to learn new ways to make my life more environmentally friendly. A fun fact about me is that I obsessed with plants -- so if anyone needs a buddy for greenhouse trips, I'm in!

Hannah Gruber
Event Manager
Natural Resources and Environmental Science (major); Political Science (major); Environmental Politics and Policy (minor); Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (minor)
I joined BGI to promote environmental awareness with others passionate for sustainability. I love all the opportunities BGI offers to get involved in the local community! Everything from campus cleanups to hiking and Earth Week events. BGI really does it all.
A fun fact about me is that I love film photography, hiking in the mountains, and going to concerts!

Amy Yang
Media coordinator
Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (major), Spanish for the Professions (minor)
I joined BGI because I realized how almost every aspect of modern society relies on our planet continuing to be habitable. BGI was the safe space I found that united students of all career interests under the common goal of educating ourselves and making sustainable changes to our Purdue campus and beyond. After graduation, I hope to become a wildlife veterinarian and to contribute toward species conservation efforts around the world.

I joined BGI because promoting a sustainable lifestyle has always been important to me. As such, joining a group of individuals that also promote sustainability seemed like a natural decision. Also, the campus events are a lot of fun.

I want to learn more about sustainability and how I can implement it in my personal life and around campus. I think it's really important for everyone to do what they can to help the environment. I love the people in BGI the most. It’s refreshing to be surrounded by likeminded people who want to make a difference.
