Victoria (she/they)

Hi, I’m Victoria! I am very honoured and grateful to have been awarded the Cubico Sustainable Investments Scholarship and am excited to join The Pinnacle Foundation family in 2024.

In 2024, I will be in my first year of a three year Bachelor of Science at The University of Melbourne (Parkville campus), majoring in Environmental Engineering Systems.

I have lived on Yugambeh land for most of my life and have developed a passion for climate justice through my involvement in a range of programmes, including research expeditions and school-based environmental groups. I endeavour to create a greener future for all, through a career in environmental engineering.

Alongside climate justice, my interests also lie in other social justice movements, including LGBTQIA+ liberation, racial justice, and neurodiversity acceptance. I believe that my intersectional identities have driven my passion for change and advocacy.

I applied for a Pinnacle Foundation scholarship as I believed that it would not only assist me in achieving my goals, both academically and personally, but also provide me with a network of individuals who share similar identities and experiences with me.
