n June 2024, I graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College with a degree in Geography and Government. I love navigating postgraduate life, but I do miss being a student. Every so often, I’ll dream that I’ve got an upcoming essay deadline that slipped my mind… The past seven months have consisted of lots of randomness: I have worked four different jobs on the island (stop by ArtCliff Diner this summer and say hello!); I briefly moved to New York after an inspiring experience at New York Climate Week; and right now I write this update on a very bouncy bus as I solo backpack Colombia and Ecuador. While still in the throes of the infamous postgraduate job search, I trust that my career trajectory will manifest the way it ought to. I am currently managing the impact campaign for a documentary short about Robinson Crusoe Island, one of the most biodiverse places in the world. The film is titled Si la isla quiere (“Island Willing”). Stay tuned for screenings on Martha’s Vineyard this summer! Otherwise, I am still on the prowl for grassroots-level work in the climate/environmental sector. Should you think of anything, I’m always looking! And as always, thank you. Martha’s Vineyard has been the inspiration for all my life’s endeavors: where I went to school, what I studied, what I am pursuing as a career, and so on. This scholarship has meant more to me than words can describe. All my best always.
