" Learning, growing and creating a positive impact in and for society is what drives me to work in the sustainability industry. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will allow me to be a part of a network of passionate youth. The learning experience I gain here will allow me to become a better individual and build a different perspective about the world and this industry.
