Angelica (Isabella) Flores
Hello, my name is Angelica Isabella Flores! You can call me by my first, middle, or last name--I've gone by all three :) I am a senior at USC studying business administration and getting my master's in social entrepreneurship. My personality heavily revolves around running, food, being outside, traveling, and having a good laugh! I believe in the power of business for good so I'm excited to work with RFI and learn about solutions to important socio-environmental problems. I'd love to have my own syntropic farm one day!!
Sam Badilla
Sophomore majoring in Environmental Studies. I come from a citrus farming family and raised livestock growing up. Coming from agriculture, RFIs work in regenerative agriculture is super exciting to me! Agroforestry and polyculture are the key to a more sustainable future, so I can’t wait to keep on learning with y’all!
