At my core, I am deeply passionate and curious about the inner workings of the natural world. This drives my academic pursuits, leading me towards success with a current 9.0 GPA in my biological sciences major. I have been generously offered opportunities such as the Top Achiever Scholarship from the University of Auckland, which inspires me to continue my professional development. I believe conservation and community are intertwined at the seams. This informs my volunteer efforts on the Younite youth council working to involve those around me in environmental sustainability.
