If we were to interview your teachers, what would they say about you?
On my third grade report card, my teacher said, "Nira is a self-confident, polite, analytical-thinking student. She has leadership ability and will be met with success"
What did you want to be when you grew up?
My favorite animal then and now is an orca, so I always wanted to be a marine biologist. I've always loved being by the ocean and thought it would be fun to study marine wildlife. I guess I ended up thinking about ocean health and biodiversity from a different angle!
