Pinnacle Science Scholarship
The financial support of the Pinnacle Scholarship allowed me to focus solely on my academic development. This resulted in me participating in many programs which have fostered my passion, skills, experience and relationships within science. The scholarship has taken me around the world, from Tasmania, to Malaysia, to Costa Rica to study sea turtles. I am deeply grateful for the support I received and the many blessings it resulted in.
