Biography - Chris Brickell

Chris Brickell is a senior at the University of Mississippi, majoring in business with an emphasis in public relations. Chris was attracted to Kalu Yala for numerous reasons, and wanted to take part in what he believes to be a model of construction and development for the rest of the world.

After a handful of headlines, statistics, documentaries, books, and experiences, a sense of environmental stewardship and responsibility became apparent and important to him personally. Chris will be working in research and business development for Kalu Yala and hopes to be a part of something big, leaving a lasting mark.
