She also loved music \u2014 playing the piano and guitar. And, after her family moved to a small town in eastern Washington, she played the drums in the high school band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she was considering where to go to college, the University of Washington Bothell struck a chord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cI was blown away by the campus. I fell in love with the biodiversity, how it was blended between the built and living environments,\u201d Elliott said, noting the campus wetlands. \u201cIt was really attractive to me, not just another concrete paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking the Music and Philosophy course, she played her guitar in the greenhouse at the Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory. She saw the research projects there and resolved to major in Environmental Studies in the <a href=\"\/ias\">School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when I decided to jump in, and I\u2019m so glad I did,\u201d Elliott said. \u201cLearning about the climate crisis and extinction crisis while at UW Bothell, I decided this is what I want to devote my life to.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impactful activities, connections  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Elliott was recognized this last academic year as one of the <a href=\"\/news\/husky100\/2020\">Husky 100<\/a>, students from across all three UW campuses honored for making the most of their UW education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At UW Bothell, Elliott met other students interested in combining music and environmental activism. 足彩app哪个是正规的y now sing in a group called 足彩app哪个是正规的 People\u2019s Echo, which is supported by the nonprofit advocacy group <a href=\"https:\/\/350seattle.org\/\">350 Seattle<\/a>. 足彩app哪个是正规的ir music for climate justice includes a song about the Green New Deal that they performed during a Seattle City Council public comment period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt brought everyone in that room together, clapping,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elliott also found passionate friends in the Sustainable 足彩app哪个是正规的 Action Club. It connects with projects in the community, such as anti-pipeline campaigns and the FridaysForFuture movement inspired by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg. 足彩app哪个是正规的 club held dinner and discussion nights about the climate.

After the pandemic changed the job, she shared ideas remotely for solo hikes and backyard meditation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeing possible futures <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspirational mentors at UW Bothell include Lecturer Amy Lambert, Assistant Professor Naomi Macalalad Bragin and Senior Lecturer Jennifer Atkinson, Elliott said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s awesome to have such strong womxn who are role models in my life \u2014 people I look up to and can see myself in, who allow me to see other possibilities for me,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lambert led one of her classes into the wetlands. She asked everyone to close their eyes and listen to the sounds of the environment. Hearing the traffic on nearby I-405, she asked students if they would consider the place wilderness, Elliott said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt made me realize how the wetlands, this wilderness here, was so real regardless of I-405 being so close,\u201d she said. \u201cWilderness is all around, waiting for us to help nurture it back into our communities and cities.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macalalad Bragin\u2019s Hip-Hop Dance 4 Social Justice course taught Elliott how art and performance are strong messengers of healing and activism. \u201cIt made me realize how much we all carry stories, culture and language in our bodies through dances,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atkinson\u2019s Eco-Grief and Climate Anxiety seminar was transformative, Elliott said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember being really depressed a lot my first year because these things I was learning and participating in were so heavy,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, I really appreciated Atkinson\u2019s class on how to face these very real feelings and transform them into grounded action.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More, please <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating in March 2021, Elliott hopes to continue at UW Bothell in the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really want to explore more of my music arts and performance work because that\u2019s what I want to pursue, related to climate and social justice,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UW Bothell is a great place to bring your interests together in the classroom, Elliott noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUW Bothell has really helped me step into my passion of being a climate and social justice activist \u2014 and has connected me so much deeper to the value of community,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we can get a group of people together to devote some time to something and build a healing space for each other, it\u2019s really empowering. It feels really good, and it gives me hope.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the University of Washington selects 100 students who are making the most of their Husky experience.
