AnaKaren’s goal is to find a master’s program that will allow her to expand her research skills and delve deeper into the intersectionality of climate and environmental justice. What excites AnaKaren most about the Climate Justice Hub fellowship is the opportunity and resources it provides to turn her passion for climate justice into a career.
