David is a senior in Timothy Dwight College pursuing the EVST BA with a concentration in Energy & Climate and a certificate in Energy Studies. Originally from the beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky, David calls the small town of Herndon, on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, his home. In the summer of 2025, David made use of the Yale College Summer Experience Award to intern at the CT-based environmental non-profit Save the Sound, where his internship experience centered on building a report that benchmarked and assessed the implementation of various climate change and resilience directives under Governor Ned Lamont’s administration.
On campus, David has worked for the Yale Office of Sustainability, where he led a team of peer educators in institutional waste-reduction measures and has served as the Timothy Dwight College Sustainability Liaison. David also writes for The Yale Logos and Times New Roman and is involved in Yale Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, which allows him to marry his intellectual passions in religious philosophy with environmental stewardship and ecological responsibility. David is a proud first-generation, low-income student and enjoys baking with friends, playing table tennis, and reading in his free time.
