I think I’d be happy anywhere I can work with the local communities around me in a way that has to do with sustainability and the environment, as being connected with one another is such an incredibly important thing to me. There's a lot of problems I’d like to work on, but one would be helping and providing aid for those affected by natural disasters in this climate crisis. Usually, marginalized communities are the ones hit hardest and helping our neighbors is a great first step.
I’m so delighted to be in this program as I have such a passion for the relationship between the environment and people, I fully believe they go hand in hand. I really look forward to meeting and forming new ties with people in the community, as well as gaining new experiences through hands-on work.
