Chris Timmel

Americorps*VISTA Sustainable Cities Program Assistant

Chris is very excited to be working for UEI and advocating the importance of green urban environments. He is a recent graduate of New York University with a bachelors degree in Applied Psychology. While living in New York, he would often gravitate towards those urban oases sparsely located throughout the concrete jungle (trying to capture a little piece of his Connecticut hometown). His senior year research focused on the beneficial effects of nature on the wellbeing of urbanites, with a more detailed look at the role green neighborhood play areas have on the development of urban children. Chris is looking forward to planting some trees and connecting theory with practice.
