My name is Juanita Alzate Ramírez, I’m a Colombian biologist and a future Master’s student in Marine Biology at James Cook University in Australia. This is a dream I’ve built through years of hard work, study, and a deep love for our oceans.
This year, I was selected by Colfuturo, one of the most prestigious scholarships in Colombia, which will cover part of my tuition. However, I still need support to cover my living expenses in Australia over the next two years — including housing, food, and transportation.
My purpose is clear: to become a marine scientist who contributes to the knowledge, conservation, and communication of our marine ecosystems, especially in a country like Colombia, which has two oceans and an incredible biodiversity that still needs to be understood and protected.
If you believe, like I do, that science can transform realities, I invite you to be part of this journey. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to making this dream come true. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign is also a powerful way to help.
💙 Thank you for believing in education, science, and the dreams that are born from the heart.
