Growing up in both rural and urban environments, I witnessed firsthand the impact of environmental degradation on communities. These experiences ignited a passion within me to work towards fostering community resilience and adaptation.
One of the most impactful experiences in my career was leading a community-driven initiative to restore a degraded ecosystem. Seeing the transformation of the landscape and the positive impact it had on the community reinforced my belief in the power of grassroots efforts. It taught me the importance of involving communities in decision-making processes and the value of sustainable practices.
