" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it presents a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on a larger scale. While my previous work has been
impactful, it was limited in scope. Through this fellowship, I am eager to push myself to the highest level of my capabilities, developing the qualities I currently lack. I believe that experience is the best teacher, and I am committed to learning and growing in order to create a meaningful and sustainable social impact. "
