Leota Coyte
|
Leota is originally from Huntington Beach, California, but came to Utah to be closer to the outdoors – where she loves to ski, camp, and hike. On campus, Leota is involved in the Beekeeping Association, Student Collective of Allied Planners and Ecologists (SCAPE), and Greek life. In the lab, Leota is researching the geochemistry of sediment from Ethiopia to learn how humans interact with their environments and how these interactions change throughout time.
