"This scholarship means so much to me, as it is a unique recognition of my efforts towards promoting clean energy and mitigating climate change. Furthermore, my core values of optimizing energy systems and reducing their carbon footprint strongly align with this scholarship. This scholarship will enable me to get the LEED Green Associate Certification, as well as it acts as a driving force for me to continue creating an impact on youth to get involved in the energy sector through my leadership role at the Sustainable Engineers Association. I am indeed delighted to have received the SPECEF Scholarship, as it represents excellence and distinction!"
