I am applying to join because I believe it will give me an opportunity to effect change. I have a degree in renewable natural resources, with a major in Ecotourism and Environmental Management. I am therefore very passionate about the environment, waste management, clean energy and climate change. I am also a peer educator and an advocate. I work and volunteer with non-profit organizations to empower the youth and also older women to make the right decision. I have worked on a project to remove barriers to safe abortion, while informing people about the dangers of engaging in unsafe abortions. I am also an advocate and researcher who is focused on advancing equality, especially for the most vulnerable amongst us. From fighting to ensure that our basic rights are carried over into our online lives, to testing new tools for humanitarian response, I believe combining technology and technical skills with a deep understanding of how online tools work can change lives, systems, and communities. I would therefore like to bring together other young leaders, so we can build a network and discuss how we can help each other achieve our goals.
