" Community-oriented work is important to me. I believe the best climate resiliency solutions are conscious of people’s lived experiences, which motivates me to preserve seeds that reflect Tampa Bay’s diverse communities in my seed library initiative. I’m excited to learn and am prepared to become inspired by other Millennium Fellows to uplift the garden community at my university. "
