“When I first came to Marianopolis, I knew I had a strong interest in the sciences, but I wasn’t exactly sure which specific discipline I wanted to zero in on. I had this growing curiosity about climate science, yet deciding between focusing on physics or chemistry was still up in the air. Thankfully, the comprehensive science curriculum at Marianopolis gave me the perfect platform to dive deep and explore.”
