"Growing up in the Virgin Islands, I experienced firsthand how climate change impacts the most susceptible individuals. Experiencing these environmental pressures fostered my dedication to environmental activism and my desire to help those who are similarly affected.

The Office of Merit Awards helped me prepare a competitive application and provided continuous support during the process."
