Bio

I am an international student at UMD, majoring in Environment, Sustainability & Geography (ESG) with a minor in Geographic Information Science (GIS). I am from Mongolia’s Zavkhan province in the western region, around 1,000 km away from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. My hometown is surrounded by majestic mountains where I grew up hiking, climbing, and searching for non-existent treasures inside caves, but later I found out the real treasure was always with me. As a kid growing up close to the countryside, I always felt close to nature, and this passion to protect the environment led me to become a member of the National Environmental Youth Council in Mongolia, where I learned more about sustainability and was inspired to gain deeper knowledge in this field.

The reason why I chose to study at UMD is because of its beautiful landscape, stunning Lake Superior views, and the sustainability-related programs it offers. I am looking forward to learning more about sustainable solutions for today’s small and large-scale issues, and I want to share my ideas and experiences to make the UMD campus a more sustainable and greener space where we can find comfort and connection to nature.

If you are interested in sustainability-related topics like climate change, renewable energy, and waste management, feel free to find me or stop me when you see me to talk about them! Also, if you want to know more about Mongolia, let me know - I would be really happy to talk with you, share what I know, and exchange ideas!
