Jake is from Frederick, Maryland. He is a 2024 high school graduate pursuing a degree in Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences to become a meteorological researcher. Jake credits his time at WYSE for shaping his interest in environmental sustainability in his community. Outside of his environmental tendencies, he spends a lot of his free time playing outside with his two dogs, (Ginger the nine-year-old Cavachon, and Bella the one-year-old Goldendoodle), as well as working a shift at the local Dairy Queen. Jake is so grateful to be able to attend WYSE once again to meet a whole new coalition of passionate environmentalists who want to change the world!
