Alexandra Chow from Vancouver plans to study environmental science while doing advocacy work, which she hopes will help her bridge these often-separated aspects of climate action. She hopes that studying science at the university-level will help her understand how industry-standard practices play a role in climate change and help her achieve her goal of partnering with companies as a consultant to develop more efficient, environmentally friendly practices, shrinking their carbon footprint while spreading awareness about sustainable practices.
Alexandra has proven to be an intellectual and high-achieving student with worlds of potential.
