Co-President | Carter Lang (he/him)
Howdy! I’m a junior in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department. I love whales, fish, snakes, and anything animal. Growing up in California, I loved exploring the Sequoia and kelp forests, the Sierra Nevadas, and the beautiful coasts, which has instilled this love of animals and the environment in me making me interested in conservation here at Princeton! I’m interested in a career doing evolutionary biology research on a wide range of taxa in an effort to understand the reasons for the wide range of body plans we see across the animal kingdom. I’m so excited to be your PCS president for 2026!

Co-President | Diego Segura (he/him)
Hey ya’ll! I’m a junior in the Molecular Biology department and a minor in the Program of Latin American Studies! My favorite nature is birds, and I’m super passionate about conservation of and for birds! I’m mostly interested in therapeutics development, both small molecule (drug development and discovery) and large (gene therapy)! As a NJ native I’m thrilled to be able to show all of you around the state, from our amazing Pine Barrens to the coasts and mountains—I hope PCS gets you thinking about land use and anthropogenic change in our world!

Vice President | Ria Tomar (she/her)
Hi everyone! I’m a junior in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department with minors in Cognitive Science and Sustainable Energy. I’m especially interested in conservation and energy policy, as well as the role that behavioral science plays in environmental policy and law at large! I’d love to talk more about these topics with anyone interested. I’ve really enjoyed being part of the PCS community over the past few years and getting to explore NJ’s natural areas with a great group of people.
Treasurer | Jess Curran (she/her)
Hi, I’m Jess and I love all things sustainability and PCS!! I’m a Civil and Environmental Engineering major, minoring in sustainable energy and I love pursuing climate research as well as community outreach to address local environmental challenges. Ask me anything seaweed related if you want to hear me talk endlessly! PCS is the perfect place on campus to explore conservation and environmentalism while surrounded by such a welcoming group of people.
Secretary | Raquel Rodriguez (she/her)
First, I love PCS! Second, hi! I’m Raquel, a sophomore in the Geosciences Department pursuing minors in Statistics & Machine Learning and Finance. I’m from Los Angeles, CA, so I’ve had tons of fun getting to familiarize myself with NJ ecosystems. Through studying Geosciences, I look broadly at Earth systems and paleoclimate, but being a part of PCS has encouraged me to pay attention to the current biodiversity and life existing in the NJ area. Apart from enjoying nature, I love listening to ’70s music and Olivia Rodrigo, watching anything Star Wars related, and trying every chocolate chip cookie I can get my hands on!
Trips Chair | Alex Gayer
Hi! I’m Alex, and I’m a junior in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department. I’m interested in marine conservation and forest ecology, especially in temperate rainforests! I love all things outdoors, and some of my favorite moments at Princeton have been getting involved in local conservation projects with PCS. I’m so excited to be the new Trips Chair!
Events Chair | Danielle Burke
Hey everybody! I’m a freshman planning on majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with minors in Environmental Studies and Journalism! My love for the environment stemmed from watching tons of nature documentaries, so I hope to make my own some day. I love all things ocean-related, and I’m interested in a career in marine restoration, specifically that of coral reefs! Science outreach and environmental education are super important to me, so stay tuned for some upcoming projects! I’ve really enjoyed my first semester being part of PCS and can’t wait to plan events! Feel free to contact me -> db5008@princeton.edu
Media Chair | Elena Wisniewski
Hey everyone! I’m a freshman in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department with minors in Climate Science and Statistics & Machine Learning. I’ve always been interested in marine ecosystems, especially since I grew up near Massachusetts’ coast! Some of my favorite nature topics are about how the behaviors of and interactions between individuals create larger patterns in the environment. My favorite animals are also orcas, tiger sharks, white rhinos, and loggerhead sea turtles. I’ve really enjoyed my experiences in this organization, and I’m super excited to share these experiences with more students as Media Chair!
Environmental Policy Chair | David Stocker
Hi! I’m a freshman who intends to major in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department. I love exploring the intersection of law, nature, and human health! Growing up in the Garden State has taught me how the environment is an integral part of our daily lives. I hope PCS can help you learn to value and conserve the nature in your community, whether forests or city parks!
