Lexi is pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Science and Policy, and a Bachelors of the Arts in Sociology from Chapman University. She has organized at her university to integrate Environmental Justice into the Environmental Science program through creating a student coalition to create curriculum, and advocate for an EJ class to be offered to students.
