Coming from a modest background, she emphasizes the scholarship's role in breaking barriers, not just financially but also by giving her confidence to pursue her dreams. Patricia shares her enriching experiences, such as attending COP28 and leading delegations, and expresses gratitude for the community. She urges future leaders to use their skills to address global challenges and create a positive impact beyond personal career ambitions.
