About

Anjali Sharma is an Assistant Professor in the Sustainability Program. She enjoys teaching, research and exploring creative pursuits, such as writing and painting, and her kitchen is often her lab to try out new sustainable food practices. She is originally from India, where her journey into sustainability began during her Master's studies and first became aware of the serious environmental challenges facing our planet. But it was during her Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences at Florida A&M University (FAMU) that she started to dive deeper into the complexities of climate change and its far-reaching impacts, especially on our natural resources. She is excited to collaborate with students and faculty to develop innovative sustainability projects at La Sierra University that can serve as models for other institutions.
