I've always loved the stars! They offered me a lot of comfort as a kid, and they still fascinate me as I grow. I always knew I wanted to study the stars and work in a related field.

I love quantum physics and special relativity!
I would love to work in research and study black holes! I would also like to work in climate change or sustainability field.
My favorite accomplishment so far was working as an intern at a Biological Reserve in Costa Rica during a semester abroad!
This scholarship is extremely impactful for me because instead of working over 20 hours a week to pay for school, I can now use that time to look for internships and research opportunities in my desired field!
