Eva is an undergraduate student studying Economics and Anthropology at Columbia University. She has previously worked with a news and media production company based in London, working most closely with their non-profit partnerships. She also has experience with anthropological research, having pitched and developed a project on Indigenous futurism and language revitalization. 

At Columbia, Eva is the treasurer for the Native American Council and the Co-President of the Fashion Society. Working with the Native American Council, Eva helped to secure a brownstone building entirely for Indigenous students, named Indigehouse. With no previous dedicated space on campus, this was a momentous achievement for the group. As the president of the Fashion Society, she writes articles and oversees events with an emphasis on sustainable fashion and diversity in the arts. 

In her free time, Eva loves to read and create art of all kinds, especially collages and paintings. She also loves to cook and explore the food scene of New York City.
