Hi everyone, my name is John. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas (United States). I studied Biology at St. Edward’s University in Austin and later Forest Sciences at the Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg, or Uni Freiburg as most people call it. I love spending time outside whether on foot, on two wheels (cycling, that is!), or splashing about in the water. I enjoy reading, traveling, learning new languages, meeting new people as well as spending time with old friends, but, most of all, I just love to learn! As a returning SCSC team member, I look forward to meeting you all, welcoming you to Freiburg, and together exploring sustainable cities for the future ahead!
