Gillian Mullen

Gillian Mullen is a future graduate of the University at Buffalo's Environmental Studies program. Gillian works part-time at Petsmart and will be interning at the SPCA this summer in the wildlife department. She has had a passion for environmental sustainability and the protection of the environment's species ever since she was a child. This is due to her upbringing; from owning many different animals in her life to spending most of her childhood outside, playing in the mud, climbing a tree, or simply taking her dog on adventures in the neighboring forest, this has allowed her to have a pure connection to nature. Gillian’s main focus is on human ethics and how those relate to the treatment of the environment. She also educates on how the average person can make a difference, even if it's small, from lifestyle changes to simply advocating for new environmental regulations. In her free time, Gillian enjoys hiking, painting, and practicing self-care methods.
