Nicole Villachica

Hi, my name is Nicole Villachica, I’m currently attending Mount Saint Mary College, majoring in Biology. I was born and raised here in Newburgh. I have been volunteering in my community since I was in middle school through college and always strived to do anything to help better my community. My love for gardening and trees made this a great opportunity for me to learn more about environmental justice and the impact it has on my community. I’m proud to have been given this opportunity to help nurture trees, educate the importance and beauty of them. Because our community plants and trees deserve to be there for our future generation to come.
