The Award supported my study abroad experience in Queensland, Australia. This was an incredible experience where I got to experience one of the most incredible natural wonders in the ocean and gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between culture and environmental conservation. I lived on Lizard Island Research Station in the Great Barrier Reef, saw international collaboration between engineers, scientists, and even writers, and learned about contemporary Australian culture and economy as well as historical and contemporary Aboriginal Australian culture.
