" " I am very honored and grateful to be part of the Millennium Fellowship Class of 2024. This fellowship will equip me with the tools needed to address educational disparities related to high school achievement gaps and college access. As a first-generation college student, I aspire to address global sustainability challenges related to quality education with humility, inclusive leadership, and a collaborative mindset. I am eager to learn from other fellows and distinguished colleagues from around the globe. I am also committed to advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations’ Academic Impact Principles.” "
