FinalistBio
I'm Evalyn, a multilingual and STEM-based student. I have a deep passion for science, plants, and feeding people. I have spent the last three years volunteering at Rise Up Community Farm, a local non-profit farm growing fresh produce for our food pantry.
I am a first-year Biological Engineering undergraduate student at North Carolina State University. I hope to pursue a career where I will use engineering to solve large global challenges involving hunger and famine.
