Andria Chiu-Tattersfield (dri) is a nonbinary student organizer who can usually be found laying in patches of grass or attempting to farm. They grew up in Taipei and are currently studying physics and philosophy in southern California. Things they are currently thinking about include environmental justice, trans identity and the intersection of science and society. They also love writing poetry, doodling and combining the two into comics!
