What I am most excited about is being part of a community that believes sustainability and business can move forward together. My path so far, from environmental justice advocacy to systems engineering, has been about finding practical ways to make circular, sustainable practices scale. Becoming a Coachtopia Scholar feels like a meaningful next step in that journey, and I cannot wait to learn from and grow alongside this community. Thank you to the Coach Foundation and Team MCN for this incredible opportunity.”
