“I am beyond grateful to have been considered and selected for this opportunity. I want to thank the Coach Foundation for making it possible not only for me but also for many other students to continue their studies and empower them to pursue their passion for sustainability. I am excited to connect with more people who share my interest in exploring innovative ways to promote sustainable practices, reduce waste as well as fashion’s environmental impact, and extend product lifecycles, while learning more about circular economies and how I can implement them in my career.”
