As an ambitious student at William Floyd High School and Harvard Class of 2029, I am passionate about the intersection between science and public policy. I am very engaged in the realm of STEM through my various commitments such as the William Floyd Robotics Team, Science Honors Society, and Science Bowl. On the other hand, my experience is furthered by my involvement in Youth and Government and Student Government where I have developed my interests in advocacy and law. With a deep interest in chemistry and environmental law, as well as social justice issues such as immigration, poverty, and minority rights, I strive to positively impact society with my future endeavors. Currently I have been working on one of my projects "Gorgeous Gardens," where I seek to gather student volunteers to build pollution-reducing rain gardens around my community. With national and regional grants, I hope to promote a clean culture within our youth and ultimately inspire a new generation of environmentally aware individuals to take action in our battle with climate change. https://www.linkedin.com/in/its-alice-chen/
