“Honestly, being selected as a Coachtopia Scholar feels like the universe confirming what I have been quietly building toward. I came into this believing that circularity is not just an environmental choice but a human one, and finding a community that holds that same conviction at the highest level is something I did not expect to find this early in my journey. What excites me most is the mentorship. I have a lot of questions that only people who have actually built circular systems at scale can answer, and I cannot wait to ask them. To the Coach Foundation and the Coachtopia team, thank you for betting on ideas that are still taking shape. That kind of belief in early-stage work is rarer than it should be, and it means more than I can properly express right now.”
