Shana Murphy: passionate about all things about sustainability, from food waste to green building practices.
My diverse experiences have shaped my commitment to making the world a better place for all. Having lived in various parts of the world, I developed a deep appreciation for different cultures and environments. My journey began in Bermuda, where I spent my childhood surrounded by the ocean. This instilled in me a lifelong love for marine life and a strong awareness of the importance of water conservation, biodiversity, and ocean protection.
As a teenager, I moved to Hollywood, CA, to pursue an acting career. Immersing myself in storytelling and character studies deepened my natural empathy, allowing me to understand lives and perspectives different from my own. Toward the end of my time in Hollywood, I transitioned into the non-profit sector, joining Arts Bridging the Gap. This experience gave me a profound sense of purpose and redirected my path toward meaningful advocacy and impact.
During my gap year, I spent three transformative months in Zimbabwe. That experience, along with earlier travels to El Salvador, profoundly influenced my perspective on international aid and its real-world implications. Motivated by these insights, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Energy and Sustainability Policy, with a minor in Energy Business and Finance, equipping myself with the knowledge and skills to drive sustainable change.
